When the radius of a circle is increaded by 5, its area is increased by 32pie. What is the radius of the original cirlce?
-----------
pi%2A%28r%2B5%29%5E2+-+pi%2Ar%5E2+=+32pi
r%5E2+%2B+10r+%2B+25+-+r%5E2+=+32
10r = 7
r = 0.7 units
-----------
Check: 5.7^2 - 0.7^2 = 32 so it's correct.
------------
PS It's pi, the Greek letter, not pie, the dessert.
