A circle centered at the origin contains the point

(0,–9). Does (8, 17) also lie on the circle? Explain.
No, the distance from the center to the point
(8, 17) is not the same as the radius.

Answer:

No, the distance from the center to the point (8, 17) is not the same as the radius.

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius of the circle is 9 units. The standard equation is:


x^(2) + y ^(2) = 81

The distance of the point from origin is:


d = \sqrt{(8-0)^(2)+(17-0)^(2)}


d \approx 18.788.

Hence, the distance from the center to the point (8,17) is not the same as the radius.
