Find the radius or diameter of a circle
Full solution
Q.
Example
2
2
2
. These two shapes are equivalent. Find the radius of the circle.
Equivalent Shapes:
The shapes being equivalent means their areas are equal. Let's assume the area of the other shape is given or can be calculated.
Area Calculation:
The area of a circle is given by the formula
A
=
π
r
2
A = \pi r^2
A
=
π
r
2
. If the areas are equivalent, then the area of the other shape is also
A
A
A
.
Circle Area Formula:
Let's say the area of the other shape (and thus the circle) is
A
A
A
. We set up the equation
π
r
2
=
A
\pi r^2 = A
π
r
2
=
A
to find the radius
r
r
r
.
Setting up Equation:
To find
r
r
r
, we divide both sides by
π
\pi
π
:
r
2
=
A
π
r^2 = \frac{A}{\pi}
r
2
=
π
A
.
Solving for Radius:
Now, we take the square root of both sides to solve for
r
r
r
:
r
=
±
A
/
π
r = \pm\sqrt{A/\pi}
r
=
±
A
/
π
. Since radius can't be negative, we take the positive value.
Final Step:
Without the value of
A
A
A
, we can't proceed further. We need the area of the other shape to find the radius of the circle.
