Find the radius of a circle with an area of . pi(16x^2+24x+9)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is my question clear??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For a circle of radius \(r\), the area is \[A=\pi r^2\] Given that the area is \[A=\pi\left(16x^2+24x+9\right)\] you know that the radius squared must be \[r^2=16x^2+24x+9\] You have to find an expression for \(r\), and seeing as both sides are squared, you should be able to find an un-squared version, so to speak.

Hint: the right side is a perfect square trinomial. Try factoring it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes i factored it its (4x+3)(4x+3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the radius is 4x+3
