Algebra.Com's Answer #131278 by EMStelley(208)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! So what you are being told in the problem is that the circumference of the table is 50*pi. Remember that the formula for the circumference of a circle is 2*pi*r, or pi*d (diameter). Since we are wanting to solve for the radius, let's just use the first formula. So we have \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "We are solving for r, so divide both sides by 2*pi: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "So the radius is 25 inches. \n" ); document.write( " |
