help
if the circumference of a circle is 4/3pi inches, how long is the radius, in inches?
remember that \[\sf C=2\pi r\] so, we have \[\frac{4}{3}\pi=2\pi r\] then just solve for r
okay, i get that we're supposed to divide next but i dont get how that process will look like
\[\frac{4\pi}{3}=2\pi r\\\frac{\frac{4\pi}{3}}{2\pi}=r\] \[\large\frac{\frac{\color{blue}{4} \color{red}{\cancel\pi}}{3}}{\color{blue}{2}\color{red}{\cancel\pi}}=\frac{2}{3}\]
oh the mistake i was doing was that i was dividing by 4/3 instead
wait, @agreene do you divide by the pi or not?
yes, the pi gets cancelled in the division
ah okay, and you don't need to square root anything correct?
nope, as i showed up above, you just do the division of 2pi and resolve that to 2/3
ah okay thank you, i appreciate your time!:)
