Respuesta :
The diameter of the circle is 8, which is mentioned in option B, if a circle equation is [tex](x+6)^{2}+(y-4)^{2} = 16[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
The given is,
Circle equation is [tex](x+6)^{2}+(y-4)^{2} = 16[/tex].
Step:1
Equation for circle is,
[tex](x-h)^{2}+(y-k)^{2} = r^{2}[/tex].......................(1)
Where,
(h, k) - Center point
r - Radius of circle
Given equation,
[tex](x-h)^{2}+(y-k)^{2} = r^{2}[/tex]....................(2)
Comparing equation (1) and equation (2)
(h, k) - (-6, 4)
[tex]r^{2}[/tex] - 16
Take square root on both side,
[tex]r = \sqrt{16}[/tex]
r = 4
Formula for diameter,
[tex]d = 2r[/tex]
[tex]=(2)(4)[/tex]
= 8
Diameter of circle, d = 8
Result:
The diameter of the circle is 8, which is mentioned in option B, if a circle equation is [tex](x+6)^{2}+(y-4)^{2} = 16[/tex].
