60 percent of 78 is the same as 65 percent of 72.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

x be the unknown number.

According to given statement;

60% of 78 = 65% of x

$\frac{60}{100}*78=\frac{65}{100}x\\0.60*78=0.65*x\\46.8=0.65x\\0.65x=46.8\\$

Dividing both sides by 0.65

$\frac{0.65x}{0.65}=\frac{46.8}{0.65}\\x=72$

Therefore;

60 percent of 78 is the same as 65 percent of 72.

We have two points describing the diameter of a circumference, these are:

$\begin{gathered} A=(-12,-4) \\ B=(-4,-10) \end{gathered}$

Recall that the equation for the standard form of a circle is:

$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$

Where (h,k) is the coordinate of the center of the circle, to find this coordinate, we find the midpoint of the diameter, that is, the midpoint between points A and B.

For this we use the following equation:

$M=(\frac{x_1+x_2_{}_{}}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$

Now, we replace and solve:

$\begin{gathered} M=(\frac{-12+(-4)}{2},\frac{-4+(-10)}{2} \\ M=(\frac{-12-4}{2},\frac{-4-10}{2}) \\ M=(\frac{-16}{2},\frac{-14}{2}) \\ M=(-8,-7) \end{gathered}$

The center of the circle is (-8,-7), so:

$\begin{gathered} h=-8 \\ k=-7 \end{gathered}$

On the other hand, we must find the radius of the circle, remember that the radius of a circle goes from the center of the circumference to a point on its arc, for this we use the following equation:
