Math Problem Statement
The formula A = πr^2 can be used to find the area of a circle. Solve the equation for r.
Solution
The problem you shared asks to solve the equation for , where is the area of a circle, and is its radius.
Starting with the equation:
To solve for , follow these steps:
-
Divide both sides by :
-
Take the square root of both sides:
This means that the correct answer is option c from the choices, not the circled answer.
