Algebra.Com's Answer #352375 by mananth(16946)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Area = 20 sq.ft \n" ); document.write( "Area of circle = pi*r^2 \n" ); document.write( "20 = pi* r^2 \n" ); document.write( "20/pi = r^2 \n" ); document.write( "6.366 =r^2 \n" ); document.write( "r= sqrt(6.366) \n" ); document.write( "r=2.52\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Circumference = 2*pi*r \n" ); document.write( "Circumference = 2*3.14 * 2.52 \n" ); document.write( "Circumference= 15.82 ft\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "m.ananth@hotmail.ca \n" ); document.write( " |
