Question

A basketball game starts with a jump ball in the middle of the court with a circle that has an area of 113.04 square feet. What is the radius of the circle?

Answer 1

the radius of the circle is 6 ft.

The area of a circle is computed by multiplying pi to the square of the radius.

Area of a circle = π r²

based on the formula, radius can be derived by dividing the area by the pi and finding the square root of the quotient.

113.04 = 3.14 * r²
r² = 113.04 / 3.14
r² = 36
r = √36
r = 6 ft.
