Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If a circle is centered at (0, 0) with a radius of 5, which of the following points lies outside the circle?
  • Step 1: Understand that the center of the circle is at the point (0, 0).
  • Step 2: Know that the radius of the circle is 5.
  • Step 3: Use the formula for the equation of a circle, which is x² + y² = r², where r is the radius.
  • Step 4: Since the radius is 5, calculate r²: 5² = 25. So, the equation of the circle is x² + y² = 25.
  • Step 5: To find out if a point lies inside or outside the circle, plug the x and y coordinates of the point into the equation x² + y².
  • Step 6: If the result is greater than 25, the point is outside the circle. If it is less than 25, the point is inside the circle.
  • Step 7: For the point (6, 0), calculate: 6² + 0² = 36.
  • Step 8: Compare 36 with 25. Since 36 is greater than 25, the point (6, 0) lies outside the circle.
  • Circle Equation – Understanding the standard form of a circle's equation and how to determine the position of points relative to the circle.
  • Distance from Center – Calculating the distance of a point from the center of the circle to determine if it lies inside, on, or outside the circle.
