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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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.
