Answer:

4in = r

Explanation:

Different problem if the x was a variable in the question

formula for area of circle = pi x r^2.

So if the area of a circle is 16 pi in^2, it would be an obvious estimate that the radius is the square root of 16 which is 4 inches.

If the x was a variable, you would find the square root of 16x which is
√(16x) which would make it 4
√(x) as the radius.
