What is the radius of the circle with equation x² + y² = 49?
Answer: 7
The standard form x² + y² = r² gives r² = 49, so r = 7.
The center of the circle (x − 3)² + (y + 5)² = 16 is:
Answer: (3, −5)
In (x − h)² + (y − k)² = r², the center is (h, k) = (3, −5).
A circle has center (0, 0) and radius 5. What is the circumference?
Answer: 10π
Circumference = 2πr = 2π(5) = 10π.
A circle has radius 6. What is its area?
Answer: 36π
Area = πr² = π(6)² = 36π.
An arc of a circle with radius 10 subtends a central angle of 90°. What is the arc length?
Answer: 5π
Arc length = (θ/360°)·2πr = (90/360)·2π(10) = (1/4)(20π) = 5π.
A central angle of a circle measures 120° and the radius is 9. What is the area of the corresponding sector?
Answer: 27π
Sector area = (θ/360°)·πr² = (120/360)·π(81) = (1/3)(81π) = 27π.
An inscribed angle in a circle measures 35°. What is the central angle that subtends the same arc?
Answer: 70°
The Inscribed Angle Theorem states the central angle is twice the inscribed angle: 2 × 35° = 70°.
