What is the radius of a circle circumscribed about a rectangle with a length of 8 centimeters and a width of 6 centimeters?
A)3 centimeters
B)4 centimeters
C)5 centimeters
D)6 centimeters
The diagonal of the rectangle would be the radius, so you can use Pythagorean Theorum to find the diagonal. We have \(6^2+8^2=(2x)^2\), so \(100=4r^2\), \(r=5\).
