Explanation:

When the diameter is known, the formula is Radius = Diameter/ 2.

When the circumference is known, the formula is Radius = Circumference/2π.

When the area is known, the formula for the radius is Radius = ⎷(Area of the circle/π).

Answer:

Just remember to divide the diameter by two to get the radius. If you were asked to find the radius instead of the diameter, you would simply divide 7 feet by 2 because the radius is one-half the measure of the diameter. The radius of the circle is 3.5 feet. You can also use the circumference and radius equation.
