The apothem represents one side of the right triangle to be solved. Specifically, it represents the height of the triangle.
 The radius of the polygon represents the hypotenuse of the right triangle that is going to be solved.
 Therefore, we can infer that the radius of the polygon is greater than the apothem because the hypotenuse is greater than all sides of a triangle.
 Answer:
 the radius of the polygon is greater

The graph of the equation below is a circle. What is the length of the radius of the circle? (x - 4)^2 + (y + 12)^2 = 17^2
djverab [1.8K]
The correct answer is:  [D]:  "17" .
______________________________________________________
The radius is:  " 17" .
______________________________________________________
Note:
______________________________________________________
The formula/equation for the graph of a circle is:
______________________________________________________
   (x − h)²  +<span> </span> (y − k)² =  r²  ;

in which:  

          " (h, k) " ; are the coordinate of the point of the center of the circle;

           "r" is the length of the "radius" ; for which we want to determine;
_______________________________________________________
We are given the following equation of the graph of a particular circle:
_______________________________________________________

          →  (x − 4)²  +  (y + 12)² =  17² ;

which is in the correct form:

→  " (x − h)²  +  (y − k)² =  r²  " ;

 in which:  " h = 4 " ;

                  " k = -12" ;

                   "r = 17 " ;  which is the "radius" ; which is our answer.

          →  { Note that: "k = NEGATIVE  12" } ;

→  Since the equation <u>for this particular circle</u> contains the expression:             _________________________________________________________    
                      →     "...(y + k)² ..." ;  
         
[as opposed to the standard form:  "...(y − k)² ..." ] ; 
_________________________________________________________
→  And since the coordinates of the center of a circle are represented by:
            " (h, k) " ;  
 
→  which are:  " (4, -12) " ;  (<u>for this particular circle</u>) ; 
_________________________________________________________
→  And since:  " k = -12 " ;  (<u>for this particular circle</u>) ;
_________________________________________________________
then: 

 " [y − k ] ²  =  [ y − (k) ] ²  =  " [ y − (-12) ] ² " ;
                                    
                                         =  " ( y + 12)² "  ;
                                    
{NOTE:  Since:  "subtracting a negative" is the same as "adding a positive" ;

           →   So;  " [ y − (-12 ] " = " [ y + (⁺ 12) ] " = " (y + 12) "
___________________________________________________  
Note:  The above explanation is relevant to confirm that the equation is, in fact, in "proper form"; to ensure that the:  radius, "r" ;  is:  "17" .
___________________________________________________
           →    Since:  "r  =  17 " ;  

           →  The radius is:  " 17 " ;

          which is:  Answer choice:  [D]:  "17" .
