Answer:

18 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can connect two points of a circle in many ways, as you can see in the picture below.

The longest straight line that you can draw to connect two points is the diameter, that is, the straight line that passes through the center of the circle.

If the circle has 9 inches of radius the diameter will be 9+9 = 18 inches.

The difference of two squares factoring pattern states that a difference of two squares can be factored as follows:

$a^2-b^2 = (a+b)(a-b)$

So, whenever you recognize the two terms of a subtraction to be two squares, you can factor it as the sum of the roots multiplied by the difference of the roots.

In this case, the squares are obvious: $(x+2)^2$ is the square of $x+2$ , and $(y+2)^2$ is the square of $y+2$
