Area, A, of a circle:
A = (pi)r^2
r^2 = A/pi
r = √(A/pi)
r = √(1808.64/pi)
r ≈ 23.9939 miles
* so i would round it up and it would be 24miles *
You can round the answer up to 24, but a radius 24 is not so close to the area which is 1808.64.
Check: (pi)24^2 ≈ 1809.56, and (pi)23.9939^2 ≈ 1808.64

How does earthquake prediction work?
When 3 different earthquake stations have a radius of the area of the quake. When combined, there should only be one area overlaping with all 3 circles (radius that the stations measured) and where it overlaps, there is your epicenter. :)
How many meters of edging will be needed to surround a circular garden if the radius is 4 meters?
Approx 25.13 metres.
How many acres is in 600 foot radius?
1 acre = 43,560 square feet.Area of a circle = (pi) (radius)2If the question refers to a circular area with 600-ft radius, its area is(pi) (600)2 = (360,000 pi) square ft.= (360,000 pi) / 43,560 = 25.9636 acres (rounded)
Why do scientists need three seismographs?
It takes three seismographs to locate an earthquake. Scientists use a method called triangulation to determine exactly where the earthquake occurred. If a circle is drawn on a map around three different seismographs where the radius of each is the distance from that station to the earthquake, the intersection of those three circles is the epicenter.
How do scientists prevent and warn tsunamis?
If the tsunami is the result of an earthquake, then scientists take three locations that the earthquake hit. They find a radius by finding out how long it took for P waves and S waves to hit the land. Once they've drawn circles, calculated by the radius, around all three locations there is an epicenter. This is where all three circles intersect. They then have seismographs that show the damage of the earthquake by a Moment Magnitude Scale. Then they predict that a tsunami will follow shortly after and they warn the countries in danger.

What is the radius of England?
Radius is a sensible measure to use with a circular (or spherical) shape. England is neither.
What is geometric mean radius?
The radius is the distance between the centre of a circular arc and a point on the arc.
How do you determine the circular area of a lawn?
pi radius squared. (radius squared, then multiply by pi.)
What is the measurement of base?
The answer will depend on what measure is required: length of a side, perimeter, radius or diameter (if circular), eccentricity (if an ellipse), area.The answer will depend on what measure is required: length of a side, perimeter, radius or diameter (if circular), eccentricity (if an ellipse), area.The answer will depend on what measure is required: length of a side, perimeter, radius or diameter (if circular), eccentricity (if an ellipse), area.The answer will depend on what measure is required: length of a side, perimeter, radius or diameter (if circular), eccentricity (if an ellipse), area.
What is the differences between curvilinear motion and circular motion?
Curve linear is antonym to linear. Circular is one among many curvelinear motions. In case of circular there will be a constant radius but in curvelinear radius would change at every instant
What is the volume of a right circular cone with a radius of 4 mm and a height of 6 mm?

How do you find the circular radius of a pi?
There is no such thing as a "circular radius", and (pi) is just a number. With thosefacts in mind, the question is only slightly harder to grasp than smoke is, and itclearly has no answer.
