a circle has a circumference of 12.4 find the radius

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\Huge\color{blue}{ \bf C=2rπ }\) \(\Huge\color{blue}{ \bf 12.4=2r(3.14) }\) \(\Large \color{blue}{ \bf Can ~~~you~~~solve~~~for~~~r? }\)

OpenStudy (candy13106):

6.2 is answer

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I would round the answer to the nearest hundredth, because that's relevantly exact, yet short.

OpenStudy (candy13106):

well yea i guess six

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Also, that's certainly not the answer. Not even close!

OpenStudy (candy13106):

oh how

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

How? you have to solve for r, and I have no clue how in the world have you got 6 .

OpenStudy (candy13106):

well r is radius right

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Yes, r is radius.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

duh !

OpenStudy (candy13106):

well ok so 12.4 is the diameter right

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

No 12.4 is the circumference

OpenStudy (candy13106):

oh k well than ................ wait give me a min.

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

Take your time :)

OpenStudy (candy13106):

u got it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

r=4.63 ? @SolomonZelman

OpenStudy (candy13106):

yea but did ya c the vedio

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

\[\large \frac{12.4}{2\pi} = r\] r = 4.63 is Not quite what I get

OpenStudy (candy13106):

oh well than did ya c the vedio

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what is the radius? @johnweldon1993
