the point (6,-1) is on a circle whose center is (12,7). whats the length of the radius of the circle?
4 answers
The radius is 12 because 6 and 12 are 6 apart and 1 and 7 are 6 away. 6+6=12
No, Ariana, that is incorrect.
You have to find the distance formula to find the distance between the centre and the given point.
Dist. = √[(12-6)^2 + (7+1)^2]
= √(36+64)
= √100
= 10

Sorry, I'm not the best at math whatsoever, I've already posted like 5 math questions.
Ariana -- when you post an answer that you're not sure about, you're confusing another student. Please only post answers that you know for certain are correct.
