Question

A student solved for the radius of a circle with a circumference of 12π

Answer 1

Answer:

Step 4 is incorrect  he did not divide correctly from step3 to step 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of a circle is

C = 2 * pi *r

We know the circumference is 12 pi

12pi = 2 pi *r

Divide each side by 2 pi

12 pi/2pi = 2pi r/ 2pi

6 = r

From step 3 The student did not cancel the pi in the top and the bottom on the right hand side to isolate r

In step 4 he got 6 =pi r  instead of pi
