Question

Find the length of the radius of the circle.

Answer 1

Answer:

By Pythagoras theorem, we get

${x}^{2} + {x}^{2} = {( \sqrt{72}) }^{2} \\ 2 {x}^{2} = 72 \\ {x}^{2} = 36 \\ \boxed{x = 6}$

C) 6 inches is the right answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

C)  6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

(√72)² = x² + x²

72 = 2x²

72/2 = x²

36 = x²

√36 = √x²

6 = x

x = 6 inches
