Considering the circumference of the circle, we have that:
8 - a. The solution for r is: [tex]r = \frac{C}{2\pi}[/tex]
8 - b. The radius is of 7.5/pi.
The circumference of a circle of radius r is given by:
[tex]C = 2\pi r[/tex]
For item 8, the solution for r is:
[tex]r = \frac{C}{2\pi}[/tex]
For a circumference of 15 inches, we have that C = 15, hence the radius is found as follows:
[tex]r = \frac{15}{2\pi} = \frac{7.5}{\pi}[/tex]
Hence for item 9 the radius is of 7.5/pi.
