To find the radius, find the distance between (2,0) and (-1,4)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Start with the given distance formula\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"d=sqrt%28%28x%5B1%5D-x%5B2%5D%29%5E2%2B%28y%5B1%5D-y%5B2%5D%29%5E2%29\" where is the first point and is the second point \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"d=sqrt%28%282--1%29%5E2%2B%280-4%29%5E2%29\" Plug in \"x%5B1%5D=2\", \"x%5B2%5D=-1\", \"y%5B1%5D=0\", \"y%5B2%5D=4\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"d=sqrt%28%283%29%5E2%2B%28-4%29%5E2%29\" Evaluate \"2--1\" to get 3. Evaluate \"0-4\" to get -4. \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"d=sqrt%289%2B16%29\" Square each value\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"d=sqrt%2825%29\" Add\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"d=5\" Simplify the square root (note: If you need help with simplifying the square root, check out this solver)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the distance between (2,0) and (-1,4) is 5 units\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the radius is 5 units
\n" ); document.write( "
