        Asector  =  (83 / 360) • Acircle    

 

        Acircle  =  π r2    

 

        60 π  =  (83 / 360) • π r2      For the next step, cancel out the π's      

                                                     and divide both sides by (83 / 360)   

 

        r2  =  60 • (360 / 83)  =  260.24        

 

        r  =  sqrt(260.24)  =  16.13
