Math Problem Statement

The formula for finding the area of a circle is Solve the formula for r.

Solution

The formula for finding the area AA of a circle is:

A=πr2A = \pi r^2

To solve for the radius rr, follow these steps:

  1. Divide both sides by π\pi: Aπ=r2\frac{A}{\pi} = r^2

  2. Take the square root of both sides to solve for rr: r=Aπr = \sqrt{\frac{A}{\pi}}

Thus, the formula for rr is:

r=Aπr = \sqrt{\frac{A}{\pi}}
