Question

What is the radius of a circle that has a circumference of 3.14 meters?

Answer 1

1/2 meter

Explanation:

The circumference of a circle can be found using the following formula:

c= pi* 2r

We know that the circumference of the circle is 3.14 meters. Therefore, we can substitute 3.14 in for c.

3.14= pi* 2r

We want to find out what r, or the radius is. To do this, we must get r by itself.

First, divide both sides of the equation by pi, or 3.14. We divide because 2r is being multiplied by pi, and division is the inverse of multiplication.

3.14= pi* 2r

3.14/3.14=3.14* 2r/3.14

3.14/3.14=2r

1=2r

Next, divide both sides by 2. We divide because 2 and r are being multiplied, and the inverse of division is multiplication.

1/2=2r/2

1/2=r

0.5=r

The radius of the circle is 1/2 or 0.5 meters.

Answer 2

Hey there!

Circumference of a circle=0.5
`\pi`r

3.14=0.5
`\pi`r

1=0.5r

r=2

Hope this helps :)
