Question

What is the radius of a circle represented (y-5)^2+(x-14)^2=16

Answer 1

Explanation: The formula for the equation of a circle is shown below.

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

In the equation, (h,k) is the center of the circle and r is the radius.

To find the radius, we look at the original formula and notice that the radius squared is equal to 16 or r² = 16.

Simply take the square root of both sides to get r = 4.

So this circle has a radius of 4.
