Answer:

Midpoint =1.5,1

radius 4.71699

C = 29.623

A =69.865

Explanation:

To find the midpoint, add the endpoint coordinates together and divide by 2

M = (x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2

= (-1+4)/2, (5+-3)/2

= 3/2 , 2/2

=1.5,1

Once we know the midpoint, we can find the radius from one endpoint to the midpoint

d = sqrt( (x2-x1)^2+ (y2-y1)^2)

sqrt( (1.5--1)^2+ (1-5)^2)

sqrt(( 1.5+1)^2 + (4)^2)

sqrt( 2.5^2 +16)

sqrt(6.25 +16)

sqrt(22.25)

4.71699

The circumference is given by

C = 2*pi*r

= 2* (3.14) * 4.717

= 29.623

The area of a circle is given by

A = pi r^2

= 3.14 * 4.717^2

=69.865

To find the midpoint, add the 2 x values and divide by 2 and then do the same with the y values:


Midpoint = (-1 +4)/2 , (5 + -3)/2

Midpoint = 3/2, 2/2

Center of circle = (3/2, 1)


Radius = √((3/2 - -1)^2 + (1-5)^2)

= √89/2 = 4.7 units.


Circumference = 2 x PI x r

= 2 x 3.14 x 4.7 = 29.5 units


Area = PI x r^2

= 3.14 x 4.7^2

= 3.14 x 22.09

= 69.4 square units.
