This is a diagram for you to reference as I solve for the radius, r.
C=6r+14.84 because of what the given info states. The general formula for the relation of the radius and circumference is C=2πr, so 2πr=6r+14.84. Now, solve for r, in feet.
2πr=6r+14.84 | The problem states to use the approximation of π=3.14, so substitute that into the equation. |
2∗3.14r=6r+14.84 | |
6.28r=6r+14.84 | Subtract 6r from both sides. |
0.28r=14.84 | Divide by 0.28 from both sides to finally isolate r, the variable I assigned to be the length, in feet, of the radius. |
r=53ft | |
