8.6*10^4 is 86000.
The largest number that would round to that should be 86499, as 86500 would round to 8.7*10^4.

SMH, i did that before for another mumkber and it was wrong

donezo thankss

feral smelt
#

You're welcome!

wispy tartan
#

im getting better, this is the last question, the other ones i got right

#

@feral smelt

#

We are given the length of a circle and we need to find the radius.

#

Do you remember the formula for the length of a circle?

wispy tartan
#

isnt it

#

c=pi x radius ^2

feral smelt
#

No, that's the area.

wispy tartan
#

o

#

uhh

#

pi x d

feral smelt
#

Yes. Though, considering we need the radius, better to express it in terms of r:
L = 2πr

#

So, now express r from that.

wispy tartan
#

C = π d

#

OK THX

#

2pi24

feral smelt
#

No, wait.

#

We know L and we need r.

#

So, express r from L = 2πr and then substitute L = 24 m.

wispy tartan
#

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA im confused

#

im not good with pi

feral smelt
#

Well, it's just a constant.

wispy tartan
#

OH WAIT

#

12

#

12

#

12

#

12

#

12

feral smelt
#

Um...

#

What?

#

Why are you writing 12 over and over?

wispy tartan
#

nevermind

#

i did it wrong again

feral smelt
#

Well, let's correct it.
As I said, express r from L = 2πr first.

wispy tartan
#

ugh why cant i jsut do maths

feral smelt
#

You just need some training.

wispy tartan
#

c = 29
29 = 2 pi r
29/2r
=4.61 to 1dp = 4.6

feral smelt
#

No, wait.

#

Don't substitute numbers yet.

wispy tartan
#

the 24 chcnaged btw

#

cuz i got the question wrong

feral smelt
#

You have the formula connecting the length and radius: L = 2πr.
You know the length and need the radius. So, express r from that formula.

wispy tartan
#

oki dokes

feral smelt
#

Well, what did you get?

wispy tartan
#

4.61 woooop

feral smelt
#

What did I just say...

#

Don't substitute the numbers!
