The circumference of a circular clock face is 13 centimeters more than three times the radius. Find the radius of the face. Find the radius of the face.
DATA: The circumference of a circular clock face is 13 centimeters more than three times the radius. circumference: C 13 cm three more than radius: r Variables: r C= C= Values: + 3 2πr
Find the radius of the face. C C 3 r + 13 cm = C C = 2 π r
Find the radius of the face. 3 r + 13 cm = C C = 2 π r
Find the radius of the face. 2π 3 3 r 3.28 cm + 13 cm = ( 2π 3 2 π r ) • The radius of the clock is 3.28 cm.
