Since all of the sides are 15, and there's a right angle, we can assume the triangles are both the same size. So we can halve 15 to get the length of y, which would be 7.5. And here we can use the Pythagorean's Theorem to solve for x, by changing it to c^2-b^2=a^2, and we can fill out 15^2 - 7.5^2 = a^2, or 225 - 56.25 = √173.75, which is about 13.18.

The diameter of a circle has length 12. The center is at*(-5, 2). Give the equation

labwork [276]

Answer:

Equation of the circle is : $x^{2} + 10x + y^{2} -4y -7 =0$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us consider the image attached in the answer area.

The center O has the co-ordinates i.e. (-5,2) and the diameter given is 12 units.

We know that radius is half of diameter.

$\text{Radius = }\dfrac{\text{Diameter}}{2}$

$\text{Radius = }\dfrac{12}{2}\\\Rightarrow \text{Radius = 6units}$

The equation for circle given the center and radius, can be represented as:

$(x-a)^{2}+ (y-b)^{2} = r^{2}$

Where (a,b) is the co-ordinate of center and r is the radius.

Let us consider the following formula:

$(p+q)^2 = p^{2}+ q^{2} +2pq\\(p-q)^2 = p^{2}+ q^{2} -2pq$

$(x-(-5))^{2}+ (y-2)^{2} = 6^{2}\\\Rightarrow (x+5)^{2}+ (y-2)^{2} = 36\\\Rightarrow x^{2} + 25 + 10x +y^{2} + 4-4y=36\\\Rightarrow x^{2} + 10x +y^{2} -4y-7=0$
