What is the radius of a circle with an area of 78.5 cubic inches? Use 3.14 for pi. Enter your answer in the box.

UkoKoshka [18]

$\bf \textit{area of a circle}\\\\ A=\pi r^2~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ A=78.5 \end{cases}\implies 78.5=\pi r^2\implies \cfrac{78.5}{\pi }=r^2 \\\\\\ \sqrt{\cfrac{78.5}{\pi }}=r\implies 4.9987\approx r$
