Equations of Circles: A sprinkler waters a circular area that has a diameter of 10 feet

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 12-05-12] [Hit: ]
and our coordinates are measured in feet.Then the center of the circle would be (0,......
The sprinkler is located 20 feet north of the house. If the house is located at the origin, what is the equation for the circle of area that is watered?

-
Radius is 10/2 = 5 feet.
We imagine north - south line to be y-axis and east - west line to be x-axis, and our coordinates are measured in feet.
Then the center of the circle would be (0,20)
Therefore its equation is x^2 + (y-20)^2 = 5^2

-
(x)^2+(y-20)^2=20^2
