Question

A circle has an area of 26 pie centimeters. What is the diameter?                                                          
A) 6 cm                                                                    
B) 1,296π cm                                                          
C) 12 cm                                                                   
D) 12π cm

binary3i · Answer

area must be pi 26 cm^2.
area = pi (radius)^2
26 pi = pi R^2    where r is radius.
26=R^2
R= sqrt{26}
diameter = 2R= 2sqrt{26}
