GPT 3.5
To find the radius of the original circle, we need to divide the dilated radius by the scale factor.
The dilated radius is 18 cm.
The scale factor is 1/5.
So, the radius of the original circle is:
18 cm / (1/5) = 18 cm * 5 = 90 cm.
Therefore, the radius of the original circle is 90 cm.
The dilated radius is 18 cm.
The scale factor is 1/5.
So, the radius of the original circle is:
18 cm / (1/5) = 18 cm * 5 = 90 cm.
Therefore, the radius of the original circle is 90 cm.
