the radius of the circle

alones (alones):

What is the radius of the circle whose equation is \[x^2 + ^y2 = 9?\]

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

\[\Large x^2 + y^2 = r^2 \]Radius of a circle in this form is r. Eg \[\Large x^2 + y^2 = 36\]the radius of this circle would be 6.

alones (alones):

I'm bad at radius /:

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Another example: \[\Large x^2 + y^2 = 64\]radius would be 8.

alones (alones):

wait so i divide, so if i divide by 9 i'll get 3 :3

alones (alones):

ayeee agent u there?

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

No... there's no division involved. The number on the right side of the equals sign, is the radius squared.

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

In your equation, the radius squared is 9...

alones (alones):

O.MG I GOT 91!

alones (alones):

Wait no i was saying 81

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

If r^2 = 9, what is r?

alones (alones):

3

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Yes.

alones (alones):

alones (alones):

Oh lol thansk xD
