Just wanted to make sure I was right, I don't trust myself http://prntscr.com/i1rlzl

Comerpickles:

@Vocaloid

Vocaloid:

not quite area = pi * r^2 = ?

Comerpickles:

r^2?

Vocaloid:

r is the radius

Comerpickles:

I kinda forgot

Vocaloid:

you are given radius = 4 calculate area = pi * r^2

Comerpickles:

50.24?

Comerpickles:

27*

Vocaloid:

the answers are written in terms of pi, so don't convert pi to a decimal, just use the pi symbol

Comerpickles:

Oh, well I don't have that type of calculator because it converts it to a decimal

Vocaloid:

area = pi * r^2 replacing r with 4 and leaving pi alone gives us 16 pi = your answer

Comerpickles:

Ohhhh, I thought they wanted me to multiply 16 with pi

Comerpickles:

My mistake

Comerpickles:

So this one is 25 http://prntscr.com/i1rx12

Vocaloid:

this time you are given circumference, not the radius Circumference = 2 pi r, solve for radius

Comerpickles:

Radius is 5 I think

Vocaloid:

5 pi = 2 pi * r solve for r

Comerpickles:

I forgot

Vocaloid:

think about what is being done to r on the right side and do the opposite

Comerpickles:

10?

Vocaloid:

r is being multiplied by 2 and multiplied by pi so divide both sides by 2 and divide both sides by pi to isolate r.

Comerpickles:

So divide 2 by 2 and 2 by 3.14?

Vocaloid:

5 pi = 2 pi * r divide both sides by 2, and divide both sides by pi

Comerpickles:

1 and 1.57

Vocaloid:

5 * pi / (2 * pi) = ?

Comerpickles:

6.28 and 15.7

Vocaloid:

what is pi/pi = ?

Comerpickles:

1

Vocaloid:

good, so (5*pi)/(2*pi) = 5/2 now, let's divide the other side 2*pi * r / (2*pi) = ?

Comerpickles:

You there?

Comerpickles:

Radius is 5, right?

Vocaloid:

no, the radius is not 5, we are still solving for the radius

Vocaloid:

5 pi = 2 pi * r we divided by 2 pi on the left side to get (5/2) now, we divide right side by (2 pi) to get the radius (2 pi * r)/(2 pi) = ?

Comerpickles:

1.57 and 1.57 r?

Comerpickles:

I divided

Vocaloid:

2 pi/ 2 pi = 1 (2 pi * r)/(2 pi) = ?

Vocaloid:

you should only be providing one answer not two

Comerpickles:

Okay so 2 divided by 3.14 is 1.57, I don't quite understand what I'm suppose to do after that

Vocaloid:

|dw:1516209511133:dw|

Vocaloid:

notice how the 2pi/2pi cancel each other out? so (2pi r)/(2pi) = r putting everything together we get r = (5/2) calculate the area using this r value

Comerpickles:

Ohhh, thats how its written out okay 1

Comerpickles:

You there?

Vocaloid:
