This is correct if you mean r=(k-h^2)/(pi)

[tex]
r=\frac{k-h^2}{\pi} [/tex]

[edit] no e in pi... ;)

r=K-h^2/pie

This is incorrect: you have written [tex] r = K - \frac{h^2}{\pi}, [/tex] at least when read according to *standard rules*. If you mean that
[tex] r = \frac{K - h^2}{\pi} ,[/tex] then you need to use brackets: r = (K - h^2)/pi.

FAQ: Solve for r: h^2+(pie)r=K

What does "Solve for r" mean in this equation?

When an equation asks you to "solve for r", it means you are being asked to find the value of the variable r that makes the equation true.

What do the variables h and K represent?

In this equation, h represents the height of a shape and K represents a constant value.

What does "pie" represent in this equation?

In mathematics, "pie" is a common abbreviation for the mathematical constant pi (π) which is approximately equal to 3.14.

How do I solve for r in this equation?

To solve for r, you will need to use algebraic methods such as isolating the variable r on one side of the equation and performing the same operation on both sides to keep the equation balanced. You may also need to use the properties of exponents and the order of operations.

Can this equation be solved without knowing the values of h and K?

Yes, this equation can be solved without knowing the specific numerical values of h and K. As long as you have a value for h and K, you can solve for r using algebraic methods.
