Answer:

Center = (5.2, -3.7)

Radius = 7

Explanation:

The equation of a circle is:


(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2

Where

r is the radius

(h,k) is the center

The equation given is:


(x-5.2)^2+(y+3.7)^2=49

We can re-arrange it to look same as the general form:


(x-5.2)^2+(y+3.7)^2=49\\(x-5.2)^2+(y-(-3.7))^2=49\\(x-(5.2))^2+(y-(-3.7))^2=7^2

Matching equations, we can say:

Center = (5.2, -3.7)

Radius = 7
