A Seattle treatment center for Internet addiction covers an area of 24,200 square yards. Imagine a large circle with the same area as the treatment center. What is the radius r for such a circle? Round to the nearest yard

Answer provided by our tutors

the area of a circle with radius r is: A= r^2pi, where pi = 3.14, r>=0


we know the area of the circle is 24,200 yd^2 thus we can write:


r^2pi = 24200


r^2*3.14 = 24200


by solving we find:


r = 87.79 yd
