Question from Shelby: What's the radius of a circle that has an area of 803.84cm2? I also need examples of how you got the answer. |
Hi Shelby,
The area $A$ of a circle in square centimeters is given by
\[A = \pi \; r^2\]
where $r$ is the radius of the circle in centimeters. You know the values of $\pi$ and $A$ and hence you can solve for $r.$
You can verify your answer. Once you have found $r$ use the area formula to find $A.$ Did you get $A = 803.84$ square centimeters?
