Can somebody help me?

OpenStudy (loser66):

do you know the distance formula?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

d=(x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2

@Loser66

OpenStudy (loser66):

lack of square root?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh yea

OpenStudy (loser66):

ok, just plug them in and find out the distance between the 2 points. That is the radius of the circle, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay I think I got it... is it C

OpenStudy (loser66):

nope. the distance is 10, and then if you apply to the equation of the circle, it should be ??? surely not c

OpenStudy (loser66):

try one more.:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A?

OpenStudy (loser66):

what is the equation of the circle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no clue... how do I put the number I got into the equation for the circle?

OpenStudy (loser66):

of course!! the equation of the circle is (x -h)^2 +(y-k)^2= r^2 I don't care about the left hand side. Just do the right hand side (because you can take advantage from distinct value of r. They are all different) The right hand side = the radius ^2 . And you have the radius calculated above is 10, so 10^2 =?? I am cheating, but it works

OpenStudy (loser66):

That is the trick to save time on test.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

100?

OpenStudy (loser66):

how many options have the 100 in?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1... D

OpenStudy (loser66):

take it!! why not? right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

true thanks

OpenStudy (loser66):

ok
