A circle on the coordinate plane has a diameter
1 answer:
9514 1404 393
Answer:
a. (10.5, 8)
b. 9
c. 4.5
d. (10.5, 12.5)
Step-by-step explanation:
a. The center of the circle is the midpoint of the diameter. Its coordinates are the average of the end point coordinates.
C = ((6,8) +(15, 8))/2 = (21, 16)/2 = (10.5, 8) . . . circle center
__
b. The diameter lies on the horizontal line y=8, so its length is the difference of the x-coordinates of the end points: 15 -6 = 9 . . . circle diameter
__
c. The radius is half the diameter: 9/2 = 4.5 . . . circle radius
__
d. Another point on the circle will be 4.5 units from the center on the same vertical line: (10.5, 8) +(0, 4.5) = (10.5, 12.5) . . . another point on the circle
