\frac{\pi r^{2}}{\pi }=\frac{2}{\pi }
Divide both sides by \pi .
r^{2}=\frac{2}{\pi }
Dividing by \pi undoes the multiplication by \pi .
r=\frac{2}{\sqrt{2\pi }} r=-\frac{2}{\sqrt{2\pi }}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
r^{2}\pi -2=0
Subtract 2 from both sides.
\pi r^{2}-2=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(-2\right)}}{2\pi }
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute \pi for a, 0 for b, and -2 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
r=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\pi \left(-2\right)}}{2\pi }
Square 0.
r=\frac{0±\sqrt{\left(-4\pi \right)\left(-2\right)}}{2\pi }
Multiply -4 times \pi .
r=\frac{0±\sqrt{8\pi }}{2\pi }
Multiply -4\pi times -2.
r=\frac{0±2\sqrt{2\pi }}{2\pi }
Take the square root of 8\pi .
r=\frac{2}{\sqrt{2\pi }}
Now solve the equation r=\frac{0±2\sqrt{2\pi }}{2\pi } when ± is plus.
r=-\frac{2}{\sqrt{2\pi }}
Now solve the equation r=\frac{0±2\sqrt{2\pi }}{2\pi } when ± is minus.
r=\frac{2}{\sqrt{2\pi }} r=-\frac{2}{\sqrt{2\pi }}
The equation is now solved.
