Answer:

If the area of a circular rose garden is 44 square meters, then we can write:

44 = πr^2

And since π is equal to 22/7, we have:

44 = 22/7(r^2)

Multiply both sides by 7/22 to cancel the 22/7:

14 = r^2

And finally, we see that the radius of the garden is:


√(14)

Let me know if this helps!

Answer:

r = sqrt(14)

Explanation:

The area of a circle is

A = pi r^2

44 = 22/7 * r^2

Multiply each side by 7/22

44 * 7/22 = 22/7 * 7/22 r^2

14 = r^2

Take the square root of each side

±sqrt(14) = r

The radius must be a positive length

r = sqrt(14)
