Answer:

7.

Explanation:

The equation of a circle is

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

Where

(h, k) is the center and r is the radius, so we only need to work with r.

The expression states that

r² = 49 or the radius squared is equal to 49. So solve for r to find the radius.

r² = 49

Take the square root.

r = 7

The radius of the equation is 7.
