Question

Pizza planet delivers pizza within a 17 mile radius of their store. if this area is represented graphically, with pizza planet located at (2, 4), what is the equation that represents the delivery area?

Answer 1

equation of a circle is: (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²  ; where (h,k) is the center and r is the radius.

In the given problem, (2, 4) is the center and 17 is the radius.

(x - 2)² + (y - 4)² = 17²

(x - 2)² + (y - 4)² =289
