To find the radius of a circle given its area, we 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 \( A = 615.75 \) square inches, we can rearrange the formula to solve for the radius \( r \):

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

Substituting the area into the equation:

\[
r^2 = \frac{615.75}{\pi}
\]

Using \( \pi \approx 3.14159 \):

\[
r^2 = \frac{615.75}{3.14159} \approx 196.0
\]

Now we calculate \( r \) by taking the square root of both sides:

\[
r = \sqrt{196.0} \approx 14.0
\]

Thus, rounding to the nearest whole number, the radius of the circle is:

\[
\boxed{14} \text{ inches}
\]
