Question

Given a circle with the center (4,0) with a point P(4,8) on the circle, find the diameter of the circle.

Answer 1

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the radius find the distance between (4,0) and (4,8). The radius is 8. Then multiply by 2 to find out the diameter.

Answer 2

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

Graphing the two points, you see that (4,8) is 8 points away from (4,0) - the center of the circle.

Knowing that 8 would be the radius, and that diameter = 2(radius), multiply the radius by two to find the diameter.

diameter = 2(8)

diameter = 16
