You can put this solution on YOUR website!

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This site describes a formula that I did not know till I went looking for it.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "radius = (Area of the circle)/s, where s=(1/2)(sum of the sides)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "For your problem Area = (1/2)3*4=6 sq inches.
\n" ); document.write( "(sum of sides)/2 = 12/2=6
\n" ); document.write( "So r=6/6= 1 inch\r
