Why did I get these wrong? I'm pretty sure they're both correct...

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
equation of a circle\[(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2\]
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
you have =4
which =2^2
so r = 2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
But the radius was 4... so it had to be 16. @zzr0ck3r
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
equation is set = 4
this is not the radius
this is the square of the radius
so the radius is the square root of 4
this is 2

It says the radius is 2 but in the diagram the radius is 4.
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
but we are trying to say what is wrong with the diagram, given the equation
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
and given the equation, the diagram is wrong because it should have a radius of 2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ohhhh I've got it now.
OpenStudy (ivettef365):
what is wrong that the radius is 2 and not 4

What about the second one?
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
I think you were doing it backwards:)
OpenStudy (ivettef365):
the second one you need to divide 4\(\sqrt{2}\) /2 and then square what you get

I feel like a doof, now XD Thanks you two.
