What is r?

2 Answers

#r= 8# in

Explanation:

#A=pi*r^2#

#64pi =pi*r^2#

Divide by pi on both sides
#64=r^2#

#r=8 and -8# but since distance can't be negative, the answer is just 8

The primary dimensions of a circle are the radius, circumference and area. In this case, given the area we can calculate the radius to be:
#r = 8#

Explanation:

Area of a Circle = #A = pir^2#

#64pi = pir^2# ; #64 = r^2#; #r = 8#
