A circle has a diameter with endpoints
C(20, -21) and D(-20, 21). Determine the equation of the circle.


Sagot :

Answer:

x² + y² = 841

Step-by-step explanation:

Midpoint of diameter is a center of a circle.

Coordinates of midpoint are

( [tex]x_{1}[/tex] , [tex]y_{1}[/tex] )

( [tex]x_{2}[/tex] , [tex]y_{2}[/tex] )

( [tex]\frac{x_{1} +x_{2} }{2}[/tex] , [tex]\frac{y_{1} +y_{2} }{2}[/tex] )

d = [tex]\sqrt{(x_{2} -x_{1})^2 +(y_{2} -y_{1})^2 }[/tex]

Equation of a circle with center at (h, k) and radius "r" is (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

~~~~~~~~~~

C(20, 21)

D(- 20, 21)

( [tex]\frac{-20+20}{2}[/tex] , [tex]\frac{-21+21}{2}[/tex] ) = (0, 0)

d = [tex]\sqrt{(-20-20)^2 +(21+21)^2}[/tex] = √3364 = 58

r = [tex]\frac{d}{2}[/tex] = 29

x² + y² = 29²

x² + y² = 841
