Answer

The radius of the circle is $6$ inches.

Work Step by Step

Let the side length of the square is $=a$. Area of the square $A=36\pi$ square inches. Area formula for the circle is $\Rightarrow A=\pi r^2$ Substitute $36\pi$ for $A$. $\Rightarrow 36\pi=\pi r^2$ Divide each side by $\pi$. $\Rightarrow 36=r^2$ Use $36=6^2$. $\Rightarrow 6^2=r^2$ Take square root on each side. $\Rightarrow 6=r$ Hence, the radius of the circle is $6$ inches.
