Question

MIchele has a square piece of wood with 12.4 inch sides. Deon has a circular piece of wood with an identical area. What is the length of the radius of Deon’s piece of wood? Round to the nearest whole number. Ask if you need a picture

Answer 1

Answer: 2

Step-by-step explanation: In order to find out the radius you first need to find out the diameter. Diameter times pie or 3.14 equals the area. So, if the area is 12.4 you need to divide 12.4 by 3.14 which gives you 3.94 which rounds up to 4. The radius is half of the diameter so divide 4 by 2 to get 2
