The standard form of equation of a circle is given by;

(x-a)² + (x-b)² = r²

where (a, b) is center of the circle and r is the radius

The question given is;

(x-6)² + y² = 136

This can be re-written as;

(x-6)² + ( y-0)² = 136

comparing with the standard equation;

(6, 0) is the center of the circle

r² = 136

take the square root of both-side

r= 11. 66

radius = 11. 66
