Write the standard form of the equation of the circle with center (2,1) that also contains the point (2,2).

Short Answer

Expert verified

The standard form of the equation of the circle is (x-2)2+(y-1)2=25.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information.

The center of the circle is (2,1).

The circle also contains the point (2,2).

We have to write the standard form of the equation of this circle.

02

Step 2. Use the Distance Formula to find he radius

Distance formula is (x2-x1)2+(y2-y1)2.

Substitute the values

localid="1645253431095" (x1,y1)=(2,1))(x2,y2)=(-2,-2)

Therefore, radius

r=(-2-2)2+(-2-1)2=(-4)2+(-3)2=16+9=25=5

Step 3. Write the standard form of circle

Put (h,k)=(2,1)r=5in the equation role="math" localid="1645253912371" (x-h)2+(y-k)2=r2.

role="math" localid="1645253812528" (x-2)2+(y-1)2=52(x-2)2+(y-1)2=25
