Area Formula: To find the radius of a circle given its area, we use the formula for the area of a circle, which is A=πr2, where A is the area and r is the radius. We are given that A=25π square feet.
Set Up Equation: We set up the equation with the given area: 25π=πr2.
Isolate Radius: To solve for r, we divide both sides of the equation by π to isolate r2: π25π=r2.
Simplify Equation: Simplifying the equation, we get 25=r2, since π/π equals 1.
Find Radius: To find r, we take the square root of both sides of the equation: 25=r.
Find Radius: To find r, we take the square root of both sides of the equation: 25=r. The square root of 25 is 5, so r=5 feet.
