The center of a circle is (3, 2) and a point on the circle is (5, -2). Find the radius and write the equation for the circle.

Respuesta :

Answer:

r = [tex]2\sqrt{5}[/tex]

[tex](x - 3)^{2} + ( y - 2)^{2} = 20[/tex]

Is this a live test question or a homework question?

Step-by-step explanation:

the radius is the distance between (3, 2) and (5, -2)

[tex]r^{2}[/tex] = [tex]{(3 - 5)^{2} + (2 + 2)^{2} }[/tex]

    =  [tex](-2)^{2} + 4^{2}[/tex]

    =  4 + 16 = 20

r = [tex]\sqrt{20 } = 2\sqrt{5}[/tex]

Equation of circle:   [tex](x - 3)^{2} + ( y - 2)^{2} = 20[/tex]

Answer:

Radius: [tex]2\sqrt{5}[/tex]

Equation of circle: [tex](x-3)^2+(y-2)^2=20[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius of a circle is equal to the distance between the center of the circle and any point on the circle. Therefore, we have:

[tex]r=\sqrt{(5-3)^2+(2-(-2))^2},\\r=\sqrt{2^2+4^2},\\r=\sqrt{20}=\boxed{2\sqrt{5}}[/tex]

The equation of a circle with radius [tex]r[/tex] and center [tex](h, k)[/tex] is given by:

[tex](x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2[/tex].

What we know:

  • radius of [tex]2\sqrt{5}[/tex]
  • center at [tex](3, 2)[/tex]

Substituting known values, we get:

[tex](x-3)^2+(y-3)^2=(2\sqrt{5})^2,\\\boxed{(x-3)^2+(y-2)^2=20}[/tex]
