Find the length of the radius of the following circle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ (x + 2)^{2} + y ^{2} = 10\]

@CrayolaCrayon_ , are you familiar with this equation \[x^2 + y^2 = r^2\] ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I would have to know what x2 and y2 are :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh wait wait wait that's squared, my bad!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[2^{2}+10^{2}=r ^{2}\]?

OpenStudy (yttrium):

Nope.

OpenStudy (yttrium):

\[r^2 = 10\] then solve for r. That's it. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sooo 5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the radius?

OpenStudy (yttrium):

Still nope, :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt{(10)}\] ?

OpenStudy (yttrium):

\[r^2 = 10\], right So to solve for r, we have to square the whole equation. And it will be like this \[\sqrt{r^2} = \sqrt{10}\] Hence R is?

OpenStudy (yttrium):

Yup you got it! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohh, thank you!

OpenStudy (yttrium):

No problem :)
