Question

What is the radius of the circle whose center is the

origin and that passes through the point (5,12)?

Answer 1

13 units

Explanation:

Use the equation of a circle, (x - h)² + ( y - k )² = r², where (h, k) is the center and r is the radius.

Plug in the values and solve for r:

(5 - 0)² + (12 - 0)² = r²

25 + 144 = r²

169 = r²

13 = r
