A circle is shown on the coordinate plane below. Circle that contains points 12, 3; 5, negative 4; negative 2, 3; 5, 10. What is the center and radius of this circle? Center: (3, 5); Radius: 7 Center: (3, 5); Radius: 14 Center: (5, 3); Radius: 7 Center: (5, 3); Radius: 14

let's see I see the circle, it has the points as indicated => (12, 3) (5, -4) (-2, 3) (5, 10)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

what do you think is the DIAMETER of this circle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

14 maybe?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

ahh, 14, so the radius is half that, radius = \(\bf \frac{diameter}{2}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be 7?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And the answer is the third one?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

yes notice => http://www.mathwarehouse.com/geometry/circle/images/equation-of-circle/general-formula-equation-of-circle.png how far is the center from the radius

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

|dw:1373824225242:dw|

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

so, if the radius is 7, where do you think is the cente?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(5,3)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank youuu.(:
