On average, the circular eye of a hurricane is about 15 miles in diameter. Gale winds can affect an area up to 300 miles from th storm’s center. In 1992, Hurrican Andrew devastated southern Florida. A satellite photo of Andrew’s landfall shows the center of its eye on one coordinate system could be approximated by the point (80, 26).
Write an equation to represent a possible boundary of Andrew’s eye.

@Haseeb96 ?

(x - 80)^2 + (y - 26)^2 = 15^2

thanks
OpenStudy (pinklion23):
np have another one?

ok
OpenStudy (anonymous):
write the equation for the circle with center (-11,-10) and radius 8 units
OpenStudy (pinklion23):
uhh hold on let me think :P
OpenStudy (pinklion23):
is it multiple choice? that would make it easier :)
OpenStudy (pinklion23):
(x+11)^2 + (y+10)^2 = 64

that is what i think :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I think its (x+11)^2+(y+10)^2=64
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yep
OpenStudy (pinklion23):
yeah you did it :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thanks so much haha
