r is the unknown radius.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The circumference (of the circle) would be 2*pi*r, and the arc length portion of the sector is \"%28%28pi%2F4%29%2F%282%2Api%29%29%2A%282%2Api%2Ar%29\"; which we should simplify NOW:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"ArcPortion=%28pi%2Ar%29%2F4\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The perimeter of the sector is the sum of two of r and the ArcPortion:
\n" ); document.write( "Given that the perimeter is 12,
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%282r%2B%28pi%2Ar%29%2F4=12%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "This is now a fairly simple equation easily solvable for r.
