A circle centered at the origin contains the point
(0, -9). Does (8, √17) also lie on the circle? Explain.
O No, the distance from the center to the point
(8, √17) is not the same as the radius.
O No, the radius of 10 units is different from the
distance from the center to the point
(8, √17).
O Yes, the distance from the origin to the point
(8, √17) is 9 units.
O Yes, the distance from the point (0, -9) to the point
(8, √17) is 9 units.

Approximate value of √17

  • ~4+

So the point is (8,4)

As we can see in graph the point is contained by the circle

Hence the distance

  • √(0-8)²+(9-4)²
  • √8²+5²
  • √89

Approximately 9 units

Answer:

Yes, the distance from the origin to the point (8, √17) is 9 units

Explanation:

Equation of a circle


(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2

where:

  • (a, b) is the center
  • r is the radius

Given:

  • center = (0, 0)
  • r = 9

Substitute the given values into the formula to create the equation of the circle:


\implies (x-0)^2+(y-0)^2=9^2


\implies x^2+y^2=81

To find if point
\sf (8, √(17)) lies on the circle, substitute x = 8 into the found equation and solve for y:


\implies 8^2+y^2=81


\implies 64+y^2=81


\implies y^2=81-64


\implies y^2=17


\implies y=√(17)

As y = √17 when x = 8, this proves that point (8, √17) lies on the circle.

The distance from the origin to any point on the circle is the radius.

Therefore, as the radius is 9 units, the distance from the origin to the point (8, √17) is 9 units.
