Question from Deszaree, a student: The same piece of a wire is bent to form a circle |
Hi,
I assume you know the length of the wire, I am going to call the length $C$ centimeters. This is the circumference of the circle and the formula for the circumference of a circle is
\[C = 2 \pi \; r\]
where $r$ is the radius.
Solve for $r.$
