Given the formula for the circumference of a circle, C=2πr, how would you rearrange the formula

1 answer

To rearrange the formula for the circumference of a circle, \( C = 2\pi r \), you can solve for the radius \( r \). Here's how you can do it:

  1. Start with the original formula: \[ C = 2\pi r \]

  2. To isolate \( r \), divide both sides of the equation by \( 2\pi \): \[ r = \frac{C}{2\pi} \]

So, the rearranged formula to express the radius in terms of the circumference is: \[ r = \frac{C}{2\pi} \]
