Question

Rearrange the formula A = \pi r ^ ( 2) for r

Answer 1

Consider re-writing this formula as "A = pi*r^2." The backslash symbol "\" is unnecessary.

If A = pi*r^2, and we wish to solve for r, then divide both sides by pi:

A/pi = r^2

Taking the square root of both sides, sqrt(A/pi) = r (r must be positive in this situation).
