Q. If the center of a circle is (4,2) and a point on the circle is (12,6), what is the radius?
Identify Formula: Identify the formula for the distance between two points, which gives the radius of the circle.Distance formula: (x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2
Substitute Coordinates: Substitute the coordinates of the center (4,2) and the point on the circle (12,6) into the distance formula.Calculate: (12−4)2+(6−2)2
Simplify Calculations: Simplify the calculations inside the square root.Calculate: (8)2+(4)2=64+16
Add Values and Find Square Root: Add the values under the square root and find the square root.Calculate: 80This simplifies to 45, which is approximately 8.944.
