\frac{\pi R^{2}}{\pi }=\frac{30}{\pi }
Divide both sides by \pi .
R^{2}=\frac{30}{\pi }
Dividing by \pi undoes the multiplication by \pi .
R=\frac{30}{\sqrt{30\pi }} R=-\frac{30}{\sqrt{30\pi }}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
R^{2}\pi -30=0
Subtract 30 from both sides.
\pi R^{2}-30=0
Quadratic equations like this one, with an x^{2} term but no x term, can still be solved using the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}, once they are put in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0.
R=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\pi \left(-30\right)}}{2\pi }
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute \pi for a, 0 for b, and -30 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
R=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\pi \left(-30\right)}}{2\pi }
Square 0.
R=\frac{0±\sqrt{\left(-4\pi \right)\left(-30\right)}}{2\pi }
Multiply -4 times \pi .
R=\frac{0±\sqrt{120\pi }}{2\pi }
Multiply -4\pi times -30.
R=\frac{0±2\sqrt{30\pi }}{2\pi }
Take the square root of 120\pi .
R=\frac{30}{\sqrt{30\pi }}
Now solve the equation R=\frac{0±2\sqrt{30\pi }}{2\pi } when ± is plus.
R=-\frac{30}{\sqrt{30\pi }}
Now solve the equation R=\frac{0±2\sqrt{30\pi }}{2\pi } when ± is minus.
R=\frac{30}{\sqrt{30\pi }} R=-\frac{30}{\sqrt{30\pi }}
The equation is now solved.
