Answer:

The main reason for the difference, Ebel says, is that the California coast is right above the boundary of two of the tectonic plates that make up the Earth's crust. By contrast, Virginia is in the middle of a plate that stretches from the California coast to the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

A circle has a diameter

torisob [31]

The circumference of circle is 20.096 units

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that circle has a diameter with endpoints at (10, 8) and (5, 4)

To get the diameter, find the distance between the end points

<em><u>The distance between two points is given by formula;</u></em>

$d=\sqrt{\left(x_{2}-x_{1}\right)^{2}+\left(y_{2}-y_{1}\right)^{2}}$

Here the points are (10, 8) and (5, 4)

$(x_1, y_1) = (10, 8)\\\\(x_2, y_2) = (5, 4)$

Substituting the values we get,

$\begin{aligned}&d=\sqrt{(5-10)^{2}+(4-8)^{2}}\\\\&d=\sqrt{(-5)^{2}+(-4)^{2}}=\sqrt{25+16}=\sqrt{41}\end{aligned}$

$d = \sqrt{41} = 6.4$

Thus the diameter is 6.4 units

<em><u>The circumference of the circle is given by formula:</u></em>

$c = \pi d$

Where "d" is the diameter of circle

$c = 3.14 \times 6.4 = 20.096$

Thus circumference of circle is 20.096 units
