<p>The<a>square</a>root of 81 is ±9, where 9 is the positive solution of the<a>equation</a>x2 = 81. Finding the square root is just the inverse of squaring a<a>number</a>and hence, squaring 9 will result in 81.

<p>Given, the area of the circle = 81π cm2</p>
57
<p>Now, area = πr2 (r is the radius of the circle)</p>
57
<p>Now, area = πr2 (r is the radius of the circle)</p>
58
<p>So, πr2 = 81π cm2</p>
58
<p>So, πr2 = 81π cm2</p>
59
<p>We get, r2 = 81 cm2</p>
