Because otherwise the two circles you build wouldn't have any intersection!

You have to draw two circles, centered at the endpoints of the segment, and connect their intersection.

If the radii are less than half the length of the circle, the circles will have no interserction.

Perimeter of a quarter circle is 17.85 what is the quarter circles radius
givi [52]

The radius of the given circle  is 2.84 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Given

The perimeter of a quarter table is 17.85

We need to find the circle's radius.

Step 2 :

The circle's perimeter is given by the formula, 2 \pi r where r represents the circle's radius

So from this we have ,

2 \pi r = 17.85

We can determine the radius by dividing the perimeter value by 2 \pi

= >  r = 17.85 divided by 2 \pi r

        = 2.84 [ taking  \pi  = \frac{22}{7}]

Step 3 :

Answer :

The radius of the given circle  is 2.84 units
