Check the picture below.

so, the center of the circle is the midpoint of that diametrical segment, and half that length is the radius.

\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points }
\\\\
\begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\
%  (a,b)
&&(~ -2 &,& -4~) 
%  (c,d)
&&(~ 3 &,& 8~)
\end{array}\qquad
%   coordinates of midpoint 
\left(\cfrac{ x_2 +  x_1}{2}\quad ,\quad \cfrac{ y_2 +  y_1}{2} \right)
\\\\\\
\left( \cfrac{3-2}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{8-4}{2} \right)\implies \left( \frac{1}{2}~,~2 \right)\impliedby center

\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points}
\\\\
\begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\
%  (a,b)
&&(~ -2 &,& -4~) 
%  (c,d)
&&(~ 3 &,& 8~)
\end{array}~~~ 
%  distance value
d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2}
\\\\\\
d=\sqrt{[3-(-2)]^2+[8-(-4)]^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(3+2)^2+(8+4)^2}
\\\\\\
d=\sqrt{25+144}\implies d=\sqrt{169}\implies d=13\qquad\qquad \qquad  \stackrel{radius}{\frac{13}{2}}

\bf \textit{equation of a circle}\\\\ 
(x- h)^2+(y- k)^2= r^2
\qquad 
center~~(\stackrel{\frac{1}{2}}{ h},\stackrel{2}{ k})\qquad \qquad 
radius=\stackrel{\frac{13}{2}}{ r}
\\\\\\
\left( x-\frac{1}{2} \right)^2+(y-2)^2=\left( \frac{13}{2} \right)^2\implies \left( x-\frac{1}{2} \right)^2+(y-2)^2=\frac{169}{4}

Chantelle has 23 cookies. She gives 3 3/6 to her friend Emily how many does she have now
malfutka [58]
3 3/6 is the same as 3 1/2, so 23 take 3 is 20. 20 take 1/2 is 19 1/2.

A 20-ounce bag of potato chips costs $3.80. What is the unit rate of the chips?
melisa1 [442]
To find the unit rate you would need to find the cost per ounce of potato chips. To find this you would simply divide. $3.80/20 = .19

So the unit rate in your question is $0.19 

Hope this helps! :)
