the center of the dartbord is at (0,0).
\n" ); document.write( "the diameter is 18 inches, which means the radius is 9 inches.
\n" ); document.write( "the formula for a circle is (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2
\n" ); document.write( "(x-h) is the x-coordinate of the center of the cirvle.
\n" ); document.write( "(y-k) is the y-coordinate of the center of the circle.
\n" ); document.write( "r is the radius.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "that formula becomes (x-0)^2 + (y-0)^2 = 9^2\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the graph of the circle looks like this:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if the dart lands on (6 7), then the distance from the center of the circle is sqrt((6^2 + 7^2) = sqrt(85) which is greater than wqrt(81).
\n" ); document.write( "this means the dart has not landed on the dartboard.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "here's what the graph looks like.\r
