\pi R^{2}=10
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\frac{\pi R^{2}}{\pi }=\frac{10}{\pi }
Divide both sides by \pi .
R^{2}=\frac{10}{\pi }
Dividing by \pi undoes the multiplication by \pi .
R=\frac{10}{\sqrt{10\pi }} R=-\frac{10}{\sqrt{10\pi }}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
\pi R^{2}=10
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\pi R^{2}-10=0
Subtract 10 from both sides.
R=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\pi \left(-10\right)}}{2\pi }
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute \pi for a, 0 for b, and -10 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
R=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\pi \left(-10\right)}}{2\pi }
Square 0.
R=\frac{0±\sqrt{\left(-4\pi \right)\left(-10\right)}}{2\pi }
Multiply -4 times \pi .
R=\frac{0±\sqrt{40\pi }}{2\pi }
Multiply -4\pi times -10.
R=\frac{0±2\sqrt{10\pi }}{2\pi }
Take the square root of 40\pi .
R=\frac{10}{\sqrt{10\pi }}
Now solve the equation R=\frac{0±2\sqrt{10\pi }}{2\pi } when ± is plus.
R=-\frac{10}{\sqrt{10\pi }}
Now solve the equation R=\frac{0±2\sqrt{10\pi }}{2\pi } when ± is minus.
R=\frac{10}{\sqrt{10\pi }} R=-\frac{10}{\sqrt{10\pi }}
The equation is now solved.
