To find the radius of a circle given its area, you can use the formula for the area of a circle:

\[ A = \pi r^2 \]

where \( A \) is the area and \( r \) is the radius.

Given that the area \( A = 28.26 , \text{cm}^2 \), we can rearrange the formula to solve for \( r \):

\[ r^2 = \frac{A}{\pi} \]

Substituting the given area into the equation:

\[ r^2 = \frac{28.26}{\pi} \]

Using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \):

\[ r^2 = \frac{28.26}{3.14} \approx 9 \]

Now, take the square root of both sides to find the radius:

\[ r = \sqrt{9} = 3 \]

Thus, the radius of the circle is:

\[ \text{Radius} = 3 , \text{cm} \]

So, the radius is 3 cm.
