Q. What is the radius of the circle x2+y2−64=0?Simplify any fractions.____
Move Constant to Other Side:x2+y2−64=0Move the constant to the other side.Add 64 on both sides.x2+y2−64+64=0+64x2+y2=64
Find Value of r2:x2+y2=64Find the value of r2 compared to (x−h)2+(y−k)2=r2.Standard form of a circle: (x−h)2+(y−k)2=r2Comparing the standard form and x2+y2=64, we see that r2=64.
Solve for r: Solve for r.Take the square root of both sides.r=r2r=64r=8
