If given the diameter, divide by 2. For example if the diameter is 16, that would mean the radius would be 8. If the problem doesn’t state the diameter, divide the circumference by pi. So if the circumference was 24, that would make the diameter 7.639437268. From there you divide that by 2 to get the radius. Hope this helps!

Given diameter: r = d / 2,
Given area: r = √[A / (4 * π)],
Given volume: r = ³√[3 * V / (4 * π)],
Given surface to volume ratio: r = 3 / (A/V).


Some equations based on what is given :)
