A circle has its center at (3,-2). The radius of the cirlce extends to the point (3,2). What is the approximate circumference of the cicle?

The distance from the center to the point on the circle is the radius.....and we can find this using the distance formula......so we have

 

r = √ [ ( 3 - 3)^2  + ( -2 -2)^2  ]  =  √ [ 0^2 + (-4)^2 ]  = √ 16   = 4

 

So....the circumference is given by   2 * pi * r   =   2 * 3.14 * 4  =  about 25.12 units
