A circle has area 84 sq. in. Find the radius.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "You still use the same formula
\n" ); document.write( "\"pi%2Ar%5E2\" = 84
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by pi
\n" ); document.write( "\"r%5E2\" = \"84%2Fpi\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"r%5E2\" = 26.738
\n" ); document.write( "Find the square root of both sides
\n" ); document.write( "r = \"sqrt%2826.738%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "r = 5.17
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check on your calc: enter \"pi%2A5.17%5E2\" 83.97 ~ 84
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
