Question

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

Answer 1

your answer is 18 :)


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

2r=d
36/2=18=r

Answer 2

36 inches.

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`

`(2\pi*r)/(2\pi)=(72\pi)/(2\pi)`

`r=36`

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