Answer: 5 inches


Explanation:

1. To solve this problem you must use the formula for calculate the area of a circle, which is shown below:


A=3.14r^(2)

Where
r is the radius of the circle.

2. You know the area of the circle, therefore, you can solve for the radius, as following:


r^(2)=(A)/(3.14)\\r=\sqrt{(A)/(3.14)}

3. When you must substitute the value of the area into the equation above, you obtain the following result:


r=\sqrt{(78.5in^(2) )/(3.14)}\\r=5in
