A circle has a circumference of 120 meters. What is the measure of its radius? Round to the nearest tenth.

WITCHER [35]

Answer: The radius of circle is 19.1 meters.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Circumference of a circle = 120 meters

As we know the formula for "Circumference of circle" i.e.

$C=2\pi r\\\\120=2\times \frac{22}{7}\times r\\\\\frac{120}{2}=\frac{22}{7}r\\\\60\times 7=22\times r\\\\420=22\times r\\\\\frac{420}{22}=r\\\\r=19.1\ meters$
