the radius is 10.5 inches.

Wrong!
Circumference = 2*pi*Radius
Or, Radius = Circumference/(2*pi)
So circumference = 21 inches implies radius = 3.34 inches (to 3 sf)
132cm
If radius=21 ft, then diameter = 2*radius = 42 ft
Divide your circumference by pi. Diameter is 66 / 3.141592654 = 21 inches.
The radius of the circle is 21 inches. The area of the circle is (pi) times (radius squared) = pi times 441 = 1,385.44+ square inches. 1 square foot = 144 square inches. The area of the circle is (1385.44+ square inches) divided by 144 = 9.621 square feet (rounded to 3 decimal places).
Assuming the 9 inches is from the pivot point to the tip of the minute hand: In 1 hour = 60 minutes the tip of the minute hand sweeps out the circumference of a circle with radius 9 inches. In 35 minutes, it sweeps out a fraction on 35 minutes/1 hour of this. The circumference of a circle is given by circumference = 2 × π × radius Therefore the tip of the minute hand moves: length = 35/60 × 2 × π × 9 in → length = 21/2 π in = 10½ π in ≈ 33.0 in
A circle with a radius of 21 inches has a circumference of 131.95 inches.
A circle with a radius of 21 meters has a circumference of 131.95 meters.
A circle with a radius of 21 units has a circumference of 131.95 units.
The circumference of a 21-inch circle is: 66 inches.(C = d x Pi).
The circumference is 42pi, or approximately 131.946864
21/(2*pi) = a radius of about 3.342253805 units
The radius is 3.34 units.
132cm
C = 131.95
The radius of any circle is the straight line distance from the centre of the circle to any point on the circumference of the circle. The radius being 21 cm makes no difference to the definition of the radius; it just means that the straight line distance from the centre of that circle is 21cm away from any point on the circumference of that circle. The radius of a circle with a radius of 21 cm is 21 cm.
65.94 feet
By a 21-inch circle I presume you mean that the diameter is 21 inches. So the radius is half as long, 10.5 inches. The formula for the circumference of a circle is 2 pi r, where r is the radius. Pi is about 3.14. That is accurate to 2 decimals, or 3 significant digits all together. I use that approximation because the dimension we are given has 2 significant digits. So the circumference is pi times the diameter; we multiply 3.14 by 21 inches and get 65.94. To 2 significant digits, that is 66 inches. If you meant that the radius was 21 inches, then the circumference would be twice as much, or 132 inches.
