Answer:

b. x² + y² = 12²

Explanation:

A circle has a general equation of:

(x + h)² + (y – k)² = r²

where h and k are the center (h,k) and r is the radius.

The circle is centered at origin (0, 0), so h=0, k=0.

The diameter is 24, but we want the radius instead. So divide the diameter by 2 to get the radius. r = 24/2 = 12

Plug it into the equation

(x + h)² + (y – k)² = r²

(x + 0)² + (y – 0)² = 12²

x² + y² = 12²
