Points (a,5) and (9,b) are on the circle x2+y2=125. what are the values of a and b?

 

a^2 + 5^2  = 125                 9^2 + b^2  = 125

a^2 + 25  = 125                   81  + b^2  = 125

a^2  = 100                            b^2  = 44

a = ± 10                                b = ± √44

 

So...the points are   (10, 5), (-10,5), (9, √44), ( 9, -√44)
