Answer:

(x-7)^2+(y-5)^2=1

Step-by-step explanation:

The two things that are required to formulate the equation of the circle is the center coordinate and the radius of the circle!

<u>Center of the circle:</u>

  • The center of the circle always lies at the midpoint of the endpoints of its diameter: Let's call the endpoints A(6,5) and B(8,5).

Using the midpoint formula we'll get:

(x_m, y_m) = \left(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2},\dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)

(x_m, y_m) = \left(\dfrac{6+8}{2},\dfrac{5+5}{2}\right)

(x_m, y_m) = (7,5)

This is the center coordinate of our circle.

<u>Radius: </u>

The radius of the circle is the distance from the center of the circle to any of the endpoints of the diameter (A or B)

We can use the distance formula:

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

r = \sqrt{(x_1-x_m)^2+(y_1-y_m)^2}

r = \sqrt{(6-7)^2+(5-5)^2}

r = \sqrt{1^2}

r = 1

<u>Equation of the circle: </u>

The equation is written as:

(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2

here, (a,b) are the center points of the circle

in our case this is (a,b)=(x_m,y_m)=(7,5)

and r = 1

(x-7)^2+(y-5)^2=1^2

(x-7)^2+(y-5)^2=1

This is the equation of the circle!

Sarah paid $3.84 for 32 ounces of carrots. Sue paid $5.20 for 40 ounces of carrots. Who paid less per ounce
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

Sarah

Step-by-step explanation:

For Sarah

Sarah paid $3.84 for 32 ounces of carrots.

32 ounces = $3.84

1 ounce = x

Cross Multiply

x = $3.84/32

x = $0.12

For Sue

Sue paid $5.20 for 40 ounces of carrots.

40 ounces = $5.20

1 ounce = x

Cross Multiply

x = $5.20/40

x = $0.13

Who paid less per ounce?

Sarah paid less per ounce
