The three points A,B,C are all points on this circle.
Each point is then equal distance from the center, that distance being the radius of the circle.
Using the distance formula, we can find the center of the circle  (x,y):
d^2 = (x-x_0)^2 + (y-y_0)^2
Plugging in points A and B into distance formula, then setting them equal to each other gives:
(x-2)^2+(y-6)^2 = (x-2)^2 + y^2
Right away we can cancel out the x terms leaving:
(y-6)^2 = y^2
Expand Left side and Solve for y:
y^2 -12y +36 = y^2
y = 3
Plug in points B and C as before:
(x-2)^2 + y^2 = (x-10)^2 + y^2
Here we can cancel the y-terms.
Expand and solve for x:
x^2 -4x+4 = x^2 -20x+100
16x = 96
x = 6
Therefore the center of the circle is the point (6,3)

Remember
x^{-m}= \frac{1}{x^m}

so

10^{-4}= \frac{1}{10^4}= \frac{1}{10000}=0.0001

HELP i need the answers to these! explain if possible:)
IrinaVladis [17]

so one: the middle Angles are all 90 degrees triangles equal 180, the angle opposite of "x" is equal to 34 so 180-90-34=x

two: both angles are equal set it up like an equation and solve for n

three: the corner angle of the right triangle is equal to 61 as well again do 180-(61×2)=x

4: do this equation (<ktu)2+ x = 180 then solve for x

5: not exactly.sure what its asking

hope this helps
