Q. (y−54)2+(x+107)2=30A circle in the xy-plane has the equation. What is the radius of the circle? Round the answer to the nearest tenth.
Identify Center and Radius: The given equation is in the form of a circle's standard equation: x−h)²+(y−k)²=r2where$h,k is the center of the circle and r is the radius. Identify the center and the radius squared from the given equation.
Compare with Standard Form: The given equation is (y−54)2+(x+107)2=30. Comparing this with the standard form, we can see that the radius squared, r2, is equal to 30.
Calculate Square Root: To find the radius r, we need to take the square root of the radius squared. Calculate the square root of 30.
Find Approximate Radius: The square root of 30 is approximately 5.477. Round this to the nearest tenth to find the radius of the circle.
Final Radius Calculation: Rounding 5.477 to the nearest tenth gives us 5.5. Therefore, the radius of the circle is approximately 5.5 units.
