Math Problem Statement

Express the radius of a circle as a function of its circumference. Given that the circumference \( C \) of a circle is a function of its radius \( r \) given by \( C(r) = 2\pi r \).

Solution

To solve this, we need to express the radius rr of a circle as a function of its circumference CC.

Given Information

The circumference CC of a circle is given by: C=2πrC = 2 \pi r

Steps

  1. We need to isolate rr in terms of CC.
  2. Starting from the formula C=2πrC = 2 \pi r, divide both sides by 2π2 \pi to solve for rr: r=C2πr = \frac{C}{2 \pi}

Answer

Thus, the radius rr as a function of the circumference CC is: r(C)=C(2π)r(C) = \frac{C}{(2 \pi)}
