Question

The area of a semicircle is 0.1413 square meters. What is the semicircle's radius?

Answer 1

`\textit{area of a semicircle}\\\\ A=\cfrac{\pi r^2}{2} ~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ A=0.1413 \end{cases}\implies 0.1413=\cfrac{\pi r^2}{2}\implies 0.2826=\pi r^2 \\\\\\ \cfrac{0.2826}{\pi }=r^2\implies \sqrt{\cfrac{0.2826}{\pi }}=r\implies 0.30\approx r`
