Hello!

To solve this exercise, we must use the formula below:


\mathrm{C=2\cdot\pi\cdot r}

  • C = 62.8cm
  • π = 3.14
  • r = ?

Knowing these values, let's replace them in the formula to obtain r:


\mathrm{62.8=2\cdot\ 3.14\cdot r}\\\mathrm{62.8=6.28r}\\\mathrm{6.28r=62.8}\\\\\mathrm{r=(62.8)/(6.28)}\\\\\boxed{\mathrm{r=10}}

So, the radius of this circle is 10cm.

Hope this helps!
