<h2>Diameter of a Circle</h2>

There are multiple strategies we can use to find the diameter of a circle. For this question, we must calculate the length of the radius first and multiply by 2 to find the diameter.

<h2>Solving the Question</h2>

We're given the centre and a point on the circumference: $(-2,1),(6,7)$ .

Find the distance between them using the distance equation:

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Plug in the given points:

$d=\sqrt{(-2-x_1)^2+(1-y_1)^2}\\d=\sqrt{(-2-6)^2+(1-7)^2}\\d=\sqrt{(-8)^2+(-6)^2}\\d=\sqrt{64+36}\\d=\sqrt{100}\\d=10$

Therefore, the radius of the circle is 10 units.

Multiply the radius by 2 to find the length of the diameter:

10 × 2

= 20

Therefore, the length of the diameter is 20 units.

<h2>Answer</h2>

20 units

Compare the numbers with<br> >, <, =<br> - 3.5 ____ 2.8<br> 7.4 ____ - 9

labwork [276]

Answer:

-3.5 <u> < </u> 2.8

7.4 <u> > </u> -9

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have a negative number and a positive number the <em>positive number is always greater.</em>

When you have a negative number and another negative, <em>the smallest number is greater. </em>

For example: -2.5 <u> </u> -3.7

-2.5 is greater than -3.7 because it is <em>less</em> negative.

-2.5 <u> > </u> -3.7

When you have a positive number and a positive number, <em>the biggest number is greater.</em>

For example: 8.3 <u> </u> 4.2

8.3 is greater than 4.2 because it is a <em>bigger number</em>.

8.3 <u> > </u> 4.2

hmmm let's find the distance between B and C first off.

$~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points} \\\\ B(\stackrel{x_1}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-2})\qquad C(\stackrel{x_2}{-1}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{2})\qquad \qquad d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2} \\\\\\ BC=\sqrt{(~~-1 - 2~~)^2 + (~~2 - (-2)~~)^2} \implies BC=\sqrt{(-1 -2)^2 + (2 +2)^2} \\\\\\ BC=\sqrt{( -3 )^2 + ( 4 )^2} \implies BC=\sqrt{ 9 + 16 } \implies BC=\sqrt{ 25 }\implies BC=5$
