Answer
The radius of the circle equals 8 cm.
Work Step by Step
Let X represent the length of the radius.
The circumference of a circle is 2.24 centimeters more than six times the length of a radius. This equals 6 $\times$ X + 2.24 = 6X + 2.24.
The circumference of the circle is 2 $\times$ $\pi$ $\times$ X = 2 $\times$ 3.14 $\times$ X = 6.28X
Since it also equals 6X + 2.24, we can set up the following equation:
6X + 2.24 = 6.28 X
2.24 = 0.28X
Divide both sides by 0.28.
X = 8
The radius of the circle equals 8 cm.
