Object Motion: 25 m/s

Circumference of Circle:
1/4 Circumference of Circle in 1 second = 25 meters
25 meters times 4 = Circumference of Circle
Circumference = 100 meters

Formula to Find Circumference of Circle: (work opposite)
C = 2πr

100 = 2πr divided
100/2π = r simplify
50/π = r (exact radius)

Answer:
50/π meters = r (exact radius)

\pi you get 6.28
then you divide 100 and 6.28 and get 15.92.
you can round it and get 16.
