Answer:
radius = 5 in
Explanation:
Using the formula for calculating the area (A) of a circle
A = πr² ( r is the radius )
here A = 78.5, hence
3.14r² = 78.5 ( divide both sides by 3.14 )
r² = = 25 ( take the square root of both sides )
r = = 5
The radius is 5 in
The area of a circle is given by the formula
A = pi *r^2
We know the area = 78.5 in^2 (volume would be in^3 area is in^2)
78.5 = 3.14*r^2
Divide each side by 3.14
78.5/3.14 = 3.14/3.14*r^2
25 = r^2
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(25) sqrt(r^2)
5 =r
