360 degrees in circle
70/360 of full circle=7square feet
7/36 of full circle=7 squre feet
times both sides by 36/7
full circle=36 square feet

area=pir^2
36=pir^2
divide oth sides by pi (use 3.141592)
11.459=r^2
sqrt both sides
3.3851
about 3.4ft

$\bf cos^{-1}\left( \cfrac{1}{8} \right)=\theta \qquad \qquad cos(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{adjacent}{1}}{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{8}}\impliedby \textit{let's find the \underline{opposite}} \\\\\\ \textit{using the pythagorean theorem} \\\\ c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \sqrt{c^2-a^2}=b \qquad \begin{cases} c=hypotenuse\\ a=adjacent\\ b=opposite\\ \end{cases} \\\\\\ \pm\sqrt{8^2-1^1}=b\implies \pm\sqrt{63}=b ~\hfill tan(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{opposite}{\pm\sqrt{63}}}{\stackrel{adjacent}{1}} \\\\\\ ~\hspace{34em}$
