Question 200841
    A circle is tangent to the x-axis and to the y-axis. The coordinates of its center are both positive. The area of the circle is 64pie. What are the coordinates of the point of tangency on the y-axis?
.
Area of a circle = (pi)r^2
.
They gave us the area as 64(pi)
.
64(pi) = (pi)r^2
64 = r^2
8 = r (radius)
.
Since the coordinates of the center are both positive, we know it is in the 1st quadrant.
.
point tangent on the y-axis is then (0,8)
