Question

Is my answer correct or no? ---> show explanation & details if i am wrong!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

No, because the distance from the origin to point (7 , -7) is greater than the radius of the circle ⇒ 3rd answer

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph of the circle

∵ The center of the circle F is at the origin

∴ F is (0 , 0)

∵ The circle passes through point (7 , 0)

- The length of the radius of the circle is the distance between

   the center of the circle and a point on the circle

∴ r is the distance between points (0 , 0) and (7 , 0)

∴ $r=\sqrt{(7-0)^{2}+(0-0)^{2}}=\sqrt{49}=7$

∴ The length of the radius of the circle is 7 units

Let us find the distance between point (7 , -7) and the origin (0 , 0)

• If the distance is equal to the radius of the circle, then the point is on the circle
• If the distance is greater than the radius, then the point is outside the circle
• If the distance is less than the radius, then the point is inside the circle

∵ The distance =  $\sqrt{(7-0)^{2}+(-7-0)^{2}}=\sqrt{49+49}=\sqrt{98}=7\sqrt{2}$

∵ r = 7

∵ $7\sqrt{2}$ > 7

∴ The distance is greater than the radius of the circle

∴ Point (7 , -7) lies outside the circle

The correct answer is:

No, because the distance from the origin to point (7 , -7) is greater than the radius of the circle

Your answer is not correct, the correct answer is the 3rd answer
