Answer:

radius = 2.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the radius of a circle given it's diameter we use the formula

[tex]radius = \frac{diameter}{2} [/tex]

From the question

diameter = 5 inches

Substitute this value into the above formula and solve

That's

[tex]radius = \frac{5}{2} [/tex]

We have the final answer as

radius = 2.5 inches
