Alan has c pounds candy.
<span>He gives his friend Matt 2/3 of the candy he has.
So alan gets 2c/3 pounds

2c/3 = 4/9
⇒ c = 4/9 × 3/2 = 2/3 pound

Now alan has = 2/3 - 4/9 = 6-4 / 9 = 2/9 pound candy

Find the radius of a circle using the Pythagorean theorem, given that the center is at (1, 5) and the point (5, 1) lies on the c
Assoli18 [71]

Given :

Center of circle, C = ( 1 , 5 )

Point on circle, P = ( 5 , 1 )

To Find :

The radius of a circle.

Solution :

We know, radius of circle is the distance between center and point of circle.

Distance between two points A(p,q) and B(r,s) is given by :

D = \sqrt{(p-r)^2+(q-s)^2}

So, distance between the points (1, 5) and (5, 1) is :

D = \sqrt{(1-5)^2+(5-1)^2}\\\\D = 5.66 \ units

Therefore, radius of circle is 5.66 units.

Hence, this is the required solution.
