Answer:  (x-9)^2 + (y-12)^2 = 225\\\\

This is the same as writing (x-9)^2 + (x-12)^2 = 225

========================================================

Explanation:

Any circle equation fits the template of (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2\\\\

The center is (9,12) which tells us the values of h and k in that exact order.

h = 9

k = 12

To find the radius r, we need to find the distance from the center (9,12) to a point on the circle. The only point we know on the circle is the origin (0,0).

Apply the distance formula to find the distance from (9,12) to (0,0)

d = \sqrt{ (x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{ (9-0)^2+(12-0)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{ (9)^2+(12)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{ 81+144}\\\\d = \sqrt{ 225}\\\\d = 15\\\\

The distance from (9,12) to (0,0) is 15 units. Therefore, r = 15

An alternative to finding this r value is to apply the pythagorean theorem. The distance formula is effectively a modified version of the pythagorean theorem.

---------------------

Since h = 9, k = 12 and r = 15, we can then say:

(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2\\\\(x-9)^2 + (y-12)^2 = 15^2\\\\(x-9)^2 + (y-12)^2 = 225\\\\

which is the equation of this circle.

Help? haha<br> solve the equation below:)<br> 3x - 5 = 10 + 2x
Setler [38]

Step-by-step explanation:

3x-2x=5+10 [taking variables on one side and constant on other]

x=15

soln:

3x-5= 2x+10

3x -5+5=2x+10+5 [ adding 5 on both side]

3x=2x+15

3x-2x=2x+15-2x [subtracting 2x on both side]

x=15

What is the surface area of the cone? Express your answer in terms of π.b
weeeeeb [17]

Given:

Radius of the cone = 5 ft

Slant height of the cone = 21 ft

To find:

The surface area of the cone

Solution:

Surface area of cone formula:

SA=\pi r^{2}+\pi r l

where r is the radius and l is the slant height.

SA=\pi \times 5^{2}+\pi \times 5 \times 21

SA=\pi \times 25+\pi \times 105

SA=25 \pi+ 105 \pi

SA=130 \pi

The surface area of the cone is 130π square feet.
