Question

Hello,

I would like help with the problem in the image attached. The answer to this problem has to be the value of the radius r in terms of miles rounded to two decimal places.

Thank you!

Matilda is planning a walk around the perimeter of Wedge Park, which is shaped like a circular wedge, as shown below. The walk around the park is 2.9 miles, and the park has an area of 0.25 square miles.

If θ is less than 90 degrees, what is the value of the radius, r? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

**Input Field:**
- A box for entering the radius, labeled with "mi" (miles).

**Diagram Explanation:**

The diagram shows a sector of a circle (a wedge) with:
- Two straight lines representing the radii (labeled as \( r \)).
- A curved line representing the arc.
- An angle \( \theta \) at the circle's center.

Students are asked to solve for the radius \( r \) given the constraints listed in the problem description.
