616=\frac{88}{7}r^{2}
Multiply 4 and \frac{22}{7} to get \frac{88}{7}.
\frac{88}{7}r^{2}=616
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\frac{88}{7}r^{2}-616=0
Subtract 616 from both sides.
r^{2}-49=0
Divide both sides by \frac{88}{7}.
\left(r-7\right)\left(r+7\right)=0
Consider r^{2}-49. Rewrite r^{2}-49 as r^{2}-7^{2}. The difference of squares can be factored using the rule: a^{2}-b^{2}=\left(a-b\right)\left(a+b\right).
r=7 r=-7
To find equation solutions, solve r-7=0 and r+7=0.
616=\frac{88}{7}r^{2}
Multiply 4 and \frac{22}{7} to get \frac{88}{7}.
\frac{88}{7}r^{2}=616
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
r^{2}=616\times \frac{7}{88}
Multiply both sides by \frac{7}{88}, the reciprocal of \frac{88}{7}.
r^{2}=49
Multiply 616 and \frac{7}{88} to get 49.
r=7 r=-7
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
616=\frac{88}{7}r^{2}
Multiply 4 and \frac{22}{7} to get \frac{88}{7}.
\frac{88}{7}r^{2}=616
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\frac{88}{7}r^{2}-616=0
Subtract 616 from both sides.
r=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times \frac{88}{7}\left(-616\right)}}{2\times \frac{88}{7}}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute \frac{88}{7} for a, 0 for b, and -616 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
r=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times \frac{88}{7}\left(-616\right)}}{2\times \frac{88}{7}}
Square 0.
r=\frac{0±\sqrt{-\frac{352}{7}\left(-616\right)}}{2\times \frac{88}{7}}
Multiply -4 times \frac{88}{7}.
r=\frac{0±\sqrt{30976}}{2\times \frac{88}{7}}
Multiply -\frac{352}{7} times -616.
r=\frac{0±176}{2\times \frac{88}{7}}
Take the square root of 30976.
r=\frac{0±176}{\frac{176}{7}}
Multiply 2 times \frac{88}{7}.
r=7
Now solve the equation r=\frac{0±176}{\frac{176}{7}} when ± is plus. Divide 176 by \frac{176}{7} by multiplying 176 by the reciprocal of \frac{176}{7}.
r=-7
Now solve the equation r=\frac{0±176}{\frac{176}{7}} when ± is minus. Divide -176 by \frac{176}{7} by multiplying -176 by the reciprocal of \frac{176}{7}.
r=7 r=-7
The equation is now solved.
