Please help! A circle is defined by the equation below:

x^2 + y^2 - x - 2y - 11/4 = 0

What are the coordinates for the center of the circle and the length of the radius?

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the equation of a circle is:

(

x

−

a

)

2

+

(

y

−

b

)

2

=

R

2

where a and b are the coordinates of the center, and R is the radius.

So in this question we have to complete the squares:

x² + y² - x - 2y - 11/4 = 0       ->

x² - x + 1/4 + y² - 2y = 11/4 +1/4     ->

(x - 1/2)² + y² - 2y + 1 = 12/4 + 1     ->

(x - 1/2)² + (y - 1)² = 4

Therefore, the coordinates of the center are C = ( 1/2, 1) and the Radius is R = 2

      x² + y² - x - 2y - 2³/₄ = 0

               x² + y² - x - 2y = 2³/₄

               x² - x + y² - 2y = 2³/₄

(x² - x + 1) + (y² - 2y + 4) = 2³/₄ + 1 + 4

             (x - 1)² + (y - 2)² = 7³/₄

The coordinates for center of the circle is equal to (1, 2). The coordinates of the length of the radius is √(³¹/₄).

$25

step-by-step explanation:

25 - 4.50 = 20.5

20.5 / 2 = 10.25

10.25 + 10 = 20.25

20.25 - 12.50 = 7.75

therefore the answer is $25 as shown as the first number.

c. 27 units.

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that in circle a, ∠bae ≅ ∠dae.

we can see from our given diagram that in and ;

, as these are radii of our given circle.

therefore, by sas congruence postulate.

hence, side be will be equal to side de as corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. so we can set an equation to find the value of x as:

now let us substitute x=17 in the expression for the length of be.

therefore, length of be will be 27 units and option c is the correct choice.
