Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A circumcircle can be referred to as a circumscribed circle to a triangle. The steps to follow is stated below:
i. Since the triangle is equilateral, draw the triangle with sides 6.5 cm
ii. Bisect any of its two sides. The two bisecting lines would intersect at center, O, of the triangle.
iii. With the center and either radius OA, OB or OC, draw a circumscribed circle to the triangle.
The construction is attached to this answer for clarifications.
We will have the following:
So, the value of x is 8.
First you do 4 * 3y then 4 *5 and you get 12y + 20
7.) the equation of the circle is
(x - 3)^2 + (y - 4)^2 = 25
If you substitute the point in you get
(6-3)^2 + (8-4)^2 = 25
3^2 + 4^2 = 25
9 + 16 = 25
25 = 25
Both sides of the equation are the same so it proves it lies on the circle
8.) you add the x coordinates together and divide by 2
7 + 4 = 11
11/2 = 5.5
You use +7 because you need to find the midpoint.
You then add 5.5 to - 7 or - 5.5 from 4
-7 + 5.5 = - 1.5
You do the same for y coordinates
6+5 = 11
11/2 = 5.5
6-5.5 = 0.5
So the coordinates of Rachel's house are
(-1.5, 0.5)
