If a circle has area 169pie square inches, what is the radius?

The area of a circle with radius r is given by the formula A="pie"r^2. If a circle has area 169"pie square inches, what is the radius?

Well, the formula for area is:
A=pi*r^2
So, let’s plug in what A is:
169pi=pi*r^2
We can divide each side by pi to get rid of it:
169=r^2
r=13 or -13, depending what quadrant you’re in.

Have a nice day now :-)

  1. divide both sides by pi. r^2 is 169, so the square root of 169 is 13.
    and thats your answer.
