Answer:

Center = (0.5, 3.5) and radius = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation:


(x-0.5)^2+(y-3.5)^2=16

This may be written as:


(x-0.5)^2+(y-3.5)^2=4^2

Comparing this with the general form of the equation of a circle:


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

With the center = (a, b) and radius = r, we have:

Center = (0.5, 3.5) and radius = 4
