Well, how long is the diameter?
It is the distance between (1, 2) and (7, -6)
distance in x = 7-1 = 6
distance in y = -6 -2 = -8
so
d = sqrt [6^2 + (-8)^2 ] = sqrt (36+64) = sqrt 100 = 10
(of course we all knew it was a 3,4,5 right triangle)
so we have a circle of diameter 10 and radius 5
You do the rest. 10 pi = ?
