Question

An earthquake was felt throughout a circular area of 1808.64 Square miles what was the radius of the circular area

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a circle is given by the formula:

$A=\pi r^2$

Where A is the area and r is the radius.

Since we already know the area, we can plug it in and solve for r. Thus:

$1808.64=\pi r^2$

Divide both sides by π. We can use 3.14 as an approximation. The πs on the right cancel out:

$1808.64\div(3.14)=r^2\\r^2=576$

Take the square root of each side:

$\sqrt{r^2}=\sqrt{576}$

The squares on the left cancel. The root of 576 is 24:

$r=24$

Therefore, the radius is 24.
