The radius is 4 meters

From the formula for the circumference of a circle, given as:


C\text{ = 2}\pi r

We solve for the radius as follows:


\begin{gathered} C\text{ = 2}\pi r \\ 8\pi\text{ = 2}\pi r \\ r\text{ =}(8\pi)/(2\pi) \\ r\text{ = 4} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the radius of the circle is 4 meters
