Answer 1

x² + (y-74)² = 4900

Explanation:

"h" refers to horizontal shifts while "k" refers to vertical shifts. If the center of the wheel is directly above the origin of the rectangular plane and the entire wheel is 4 ft. from the ground then:

h = 0

k = 74 (the radius + 4 ft.)

r = 70

So plugging those into the equation of circles, we get the answer above.
