Answer:

17 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

I used the Pythagorean theorem to answer this question.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

15^2 + 8^2 = c^2

225 + 64 = c^2

289=c^2

c^2=289

c=√289

c=17 feet

Find the radius of a circle, given that the center is at (3,-3) and the point (7,6) lies on the circle.

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{radius=\sqrt{97}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius is the distance between the center and any point on the circle.

The formula of a distance between two points:

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

We have the center (3, -3) and other point on the circle (7, 6).

Substitute:

$r=\sqrt{(6-(-3))^2+(7-3)^2}=\sqrt{9^2+4^2}=\sqrt{81+16}=\sqrt{97}$
