Greetings!

"The circumference of a circle is 12 inches. What is the radius?"...

We can use the formula to find the circumference of circle to solve this:

2 \pi r

Input the information we know:

2 \pi r=12

Solve for r, using the properties of equality:

Simplify.

6.28r=12
Divide both sides by 6.28

(6.28r)/6.28=(12)/6.28
Simplify.

r=1.91

The radius is 1.91cm long.

Hope this helps.
