Circumference = 2 pi (radius)
first try to solve for (radius)
could you do that? :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
can you please help? (:
jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):
36 pi = 2 pi (radius) divide both sides by (2pi)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
my teacher wants pi in the answer
jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):
yes, we are going to solve for the radius first, that does not have pi
then plug it into the area formula which will give you an answer that has pi :)

is it 5.73 ?

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):
not quite :)
remember, there is a pi attached to the 36 as well
and so pi divided by pi = 1 so it cancels out
and you get 36 divided by 2 = (radius)

18 ?
jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):
correct :)
then the formula for the Area of a circle = pi * (radius)^2
plug in radius = 18 :)

324(pi)cm^2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
because my teacher doesn't want pi in our answer
jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):
that is correct! :) Good Job! :D
