The center of the circle shown below is at (5,4). A point on the circle is at (12,15). What is the radius of this circle? Round the answer to the nearest tenth of a unit. A. 10.0 units B. 11.0 units C. 12.0 units D.. 13.0 units

Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct option is D. 13.0 unit

Therefore the Radius of a Circle is 13.0 unit (nearest tenth of a unit)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Let C be the center of a Circle

C = (x₁ , y₁) = ( 5 , 4)

Let A be the point on a Circle

A = (x₂ , y₂) = ( 12 , 15)

To Find:

Radius, CA = ?

Solution:

Radius :

The radius of a circle is the distance from the center of the circle to any point on its Circle.

So By Distance Formula Between Two point is given as

[tex]l(CA) = \sqrt{((x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2} )}[/tex]

Substituting the values we get

[tex]l(CA) = \sqrt{((12-5)^{2}+(15-4)^{2} )}[/tex]

[tex]l(CA) = \sqrt{((7)^{2}+(11)^{2} )}[/tex]

[tex]l(CA) = \sqrt{(49+121)}=\sqrt{170}=13.03\ unit[/tex]

Therefore the Radius of a Circle is 13.0 unit
