Question

The circumference of the circular table on Beverly’s porch is 72pi inches. What is the radius of the table

Answer 1

Answer:

36 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the circumference of the circular table on Beverly’s porch is $72\pi$ inches. We are asked to find the radius of the table.

We will use circumference of circle formula to find radius of the table.

$\text{Circumference of circle}=2\pi r$

$72\pi=2\pi*r$

Switch sides:

$2\pi*r=72\pi$

Now, we will divide both sides of our equation by $2\pi$

$\frac{2\pi*r}{2\pi}=\frac{72\pi}{2\pi}$

$r=36$

Therefore, the radius of the circular table is 36 inches.

Answer 2

Your answer is 18 :)


work:
pi(2)d
pi(72)
72/2=36=d

2r=d
36/2=18=r
