If the diameter is at (9,4) and (-3,-2), then the center of the circle is the midpoint of that segment.

and since we know that the radius of a circle is half of the diameter, whatever long that diameter segment is, the radius is half that.

\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points }
\\\\
\begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\
%  (a,b)
&&(~ 9 &,& 4~) 
%  (c,d)
&&(~ -3 &,& -2~)
\end{array}\qquad
%   coordinates of midpoint 
\left(\cfrac{ x_2 +  x_1}{2}\quad ,\quad \cfrac{ y_2 +  y_1}{2} \right)
\\\\\\
\left( \cfrac{-3+9}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{-2+4}{2} \right)\implies \stackrel{center}{(3~,~1)}

\bf -------------------------------\\\\
~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points}
\\\\
\begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\
%  (a,b)
&&(~ 9 &,& 4~) 
%  (c,d)
&&(~ -3 &,& -2~)
\end{array}
\\\\\\
d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2}
\\\\\\
d=\sqrt{(-3-9)^2+(-2-4)^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(-12)^2+(-6)^2}
\\\\\\
d=\sqrt{180}\qquad \qquad \qquad radius=\cfrac{\sqrt{180}}{2}

\bf -------------------------------\\\\
\textit{equation of a circle}\\\\ 
(x- h)^2+(y- k)^2= r^2
\qquad 
center~~(\stackrel{3}{ h},\stackrel{1}{ k})\qquad \qquad 
radius=\stackrel{\frac{\sqrt{180}}{2}}{ r}
\\\\\\
(x-3)^2+(y-1)^2=\left( \frac{\sqrt{180}}{2} \right)^2\implies (x-3)^2+(y-1)^2=\cfrac{(\sqrt{180})^2}{2^2}
\\\\\\
(x-3)^2+(y-1)^2=\cfrac{180}{4}\implies (x-3)^2+(y-1)^2=45

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

It's answer is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

hypotenuse (h) = 10

base (b) = 6

perpendicular (p) = x = ?

We know by using Pythagoras theorem

p = √ h² - b²

= √ 10² - 6²

= √ 100 - 36

= √ 64

x = 8

Hope it will help : ) ❤

Which equation represents a line that passes through (4, left-parenthesis 4, StartFraction one-third EndFraction right-parenthes
Alina [70]

Answer:

y-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{3}{4}(x-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of the line into point slope form is equal to

y-y1=m(x-x1)

In this problem we have

point\ (4,\frac{1}{3})

m=\frac{3}{4}

substitute the given values

y-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{3}{4}(x-4)

y minus StartFraction one-third EndFraction equals StartFraction 3 Over 4 EndFraction left-parenthesis x minus 4 right-parenthesis.(x – 4)
