What is the area of the circle if the diagonal has endpoints ( 0, 3) and ( -2, 5)

We know that the area of the circle is presented by
:


A = r^2 * pi where r is the
radius.


Then we will need to calculate the length of the
radius.


First we will determine center which is the
midpoint.


==> Mx = ( 0-2)/2 =
-1


==> My = ( 3 +5)/2 =
4


Then the center is the point (
-1,4)


Now we will calculate the radius length which is the
length between the center ( -1, 4) and the endpoint (0,
3)


==> r = sqrt( -1-0)^2 + (
4-3)^2


          = sqrt(1 + 1) =
sqrt2


==> r = sqrt2


Now
we will calculate the area.


==> A = r^2 * pi =
sqrt2)^2 * pi = 2*pi = 2pi


==> The
area of the circle is A = 2pi = 6.28 square
units.

Calculate tan(x-y), if sin x=1/2 and sin y=1/3. 0

We'll write the formula of the tangent of difference of 2 angles. tan (x-y) = (tan x - tan y)/(1 + tan x*tan y) ...
