Look at the figure. http://go.flvs.net/courses/1/flvs_57_3641_12676/ppg/respondus/pool_Geom_3641_0810_15/image0024e68c90e.jpg Which statement is true? Answer Circle 2 and Circle 3 are concentric. Circle 1 and Circle 3 are concentric. Circle 3 is a great circle of the sphere. Circle 4 is a great circle of the sphere.

The link is not working properly for me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does that help?

OpenStudy (diyadiya):

Yes.! So what do you think is the answer?

OpenStudy (diyadiya):

Circle 4 is a great circle of the sphere. I guess thats the answer.

OpenStudy (diyadiya):

Let me clarify

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i was about to say one of the last two aha

OpenStudy (diyadiya):

But i'm not sure if 2 & 3 are concentric or not

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

great circle is the largest circle that a sphere can accomodate, @cbrusoe . so what do you think now?

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

@Diyadiya - do 2 and 3 have a common centre? think-o!

OpenStudy (diyadiya):

But aren't they inside a sphere ?

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

and @cbrusoe I am sorry, you had called me to an earlier question, but the image link didn't work there as well - you "www.flvs..." links don't work it seems.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i would think it is circle 4 then because it seems like it is the largest circle within the sphere

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

Doesn't matter if they are inside a sphere or an ellipse or a cube or a telephone - common centers or not? let's not think about the axis of the centers - consider only the center.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its ok i dont remember which question it was but i think i got it i'll start attaching them for now on

OpenStudy (diyadiya):

OH YEAH! i got confused with the axis

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

yeah, cbrusoe, you are right! - the great circle inside a sphere is analogous to the diameter of a circle.

OpenStudy (diyadiya):

@cbrusoe Sorry for the confusion & Thanks @apoorvk

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

lol, no problem - i myself thought so for a moment. And don't thank me everytime for petty reasons :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks! =) and its kk @Diyadiya =)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks both of you btw

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

@cbrusoe it was the "shaded area.." question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok yeahh that was on my last assignment i think i got it =)
