We want to find the radius of a circle with area of 28.26 square feet.
Remember that the area of a circle with radius r is calculated using the formula below.
A=Ď€ r^2
Since the area of the circle is 28.26ft^2, we can substitute 28.26 for A in the formula and solve the resulting equation for r. We will use 3.14 for π.
Note that the only number that after multiplying by itself equals 9 is 3. This means that the radius of the circle must be 3ft.
