help me solve for r?

[Anonymous No.7287719]

A = πr^2

I got this wrong. I squared the pi and r2 and divided the r and got A/r = π...

then i multiplied the A by both sides and got

r= Aπ

but I know this ain't right and its frustrating me

can someone do a step by step breakdown please?

[Anonymous No.7287724]

r^2 = A/pi
r = sqrt(A/pi)

Your question was answered by the first anon. No need to be mad.

Just curious anon, what is your level of schooling?

The formula for the area of a circle in Euclidean geometry is given by
<span class="math">
\pi\cdot r^2
[/spoiler]
What it looks like you did was
<span class="math">
(\pi\cdot r)^2
[/spoiler]
If you can't see the difference between the two, then remember your order of operations.

I'm teaching high school geometry right now. This is one of the things in the books the school district assigned us and I have to teach this crap tomorrow. It's stupid and it's not my fault I couldn't get the solution. The books are just different this year and they make everything extremely complicated. Seriously fuck common core.

I DO know basic math. As I said, it's the book's problem not mine.

I've been teaching geometry for 12 years now. When I was first hired, they never tested me or anything. They just looked at my credentials and hired me since the last man had retired on pretty short notice. Also I'm a woman if that makes any difference.

It's mostly idiocy that they changed the textbooks at this point. My students have enough trouble trying to figure this stuff out. The books have these exercises called "Time to Prove it" and they're absolutely impossible. Before our classroom had an App for the laptops the school bought which would allow my students to just plug in numbers and find areas or perimeters. Using modern solutions to find the answers to our books' problems was what I taught for the last decade, because it's the 21st century for Christsake.

Now though, there is "How to Prove it" idiocy which no one will actually use in the modern world. There is no App for something stupid like that.

Well THAT explains it.

Wouldn't it be crazy if one of your students came to /sci/ and found his female math teacher asking forchan 4help, posting mildly rare pepes in the process? I would fucking die if that happened to me.

Are you being deliberately stupid? I'm said multiple times that it's the book's fault NOT mine. The people who put this book together deliberately made it incoherent. If you give me the perimeter or area of a circle, I can show my students how to plug in the data to eQuation Solver and get the value for "r". That's not as simple as it sounds because you need to be computer savvy.

I would never ask my students to "isolate for r" like the book wants us to do. That doesn't make sense. You would never do something like that in the real world, and I believe in teaching skills.

Ha no. My job is twofold.
1. I show teens how technology isn't just something for gaming. It can be meaningfully integrated into their lives.
2. Geometry is very important, because otherwise we wouldn't have houses or rulers or almost anything. My hubby used geometry when he was building our deck last year. Never say math doesn't have applications to the real world.

Whatever, you guys are kinda annoying me. This was my first time on this board and it will also be my last. But before I go, I'll say something. You think you're good at math, because you learned some useless tricks. But I'm a teacher and I'm actually good at math because I know HOW to teach it. One of you said I was stupid for being a woman (which doesn't bother me tbh), but I have a woman's intuition for teaching. You all talk big, but you wouldn't have a clue if you were put in front of a board. So hey maybe try walking a mile in my shoes before you insult next time. That's all.

I can't decide if I should pity you or your students.

I have had to teach many times, a lot of those being impromptu occasions, and it's not that hard.

You obviously don't like taking responsibility for yourself, because you're just blaming some book again and again.

You obviously learned that /sci/ is one of the worst boards on 4chan, too.

By the way, I solved your stupid problem.

no, initially i divided r2 to get it under the A, which I realized was wrong cuz' the order is all messed up.

Why would it be a troll? I didn't realize only Calculus level geniuses were allowed to ask questions here. I'm in fucking Algebra class.

da fuck man

my new solution is to square both first so I get a single r, then divide it over. so that I get an

√A/r = √π

but then what? do I now multiply both sides by √A to get the A to the side of the pi?

if you really are a teacher in the United States, then you and your district are the problem with this country.

if you are teaching a math course, then you should be able to prove at least the more necessary theorems. in my senior year of highschool my friends and i proved euclidean geometry theorems/formulas just for fun.

you should be able to do something as simple as what you posted.
