Yes I know the set up I'm just not sure how to solve the problem when it's this way.

oh crap that kinda hard

unknownrandom · Answer

So you need an x value. Is the x supposed to be pi?

katie_rogers101 · Answer

No I dont think x = pi

unknownrandom · Answer

Is that the whole question? Are you just trying to create a formula for circumference?

katie_rogers101 · Answer

No I am trying to solve it and That is the whole question.

unknownrandom · Answer

Well I might be wrong, but I don't think you can solve for the circumference without an x value. You can solve for x, but I think that is about all you can do.

Circumference = 2 * PI * radius
Circumference = 2 * PI * (5x/3)
Circumference = PI * (10x/3)

I don't think they want an actual, numerical answer.
It's as if they asked "a floor has a width "w" and a length of "l" - What is the area of the floor?"
The answer would be (w*l)

@wolf1728 that is what I was thinking.
