Question

The endpoints of a diameter of circle A are located at points and . What is the area of the circle?

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

The formula for the area of a circle is given by A =πr2 . The problem gives us the endpoints of the diameter of the circle. Using the distance formula, we can find the length of the diameter. Then, because we know that the radius (r) is half the length of the diameter, we can find the length of r. Finally, we can use the formula A =πr2 to find the area.

The distance formula is Actmath_7_113_q1

The distance between the endpoints of the diameter of the circle is:

To find the radius, we divide d (the length of the diameter) by two.

Then we substitute the value of r into the formula for the area of a circle.
