Q. x2+y212x10y+36=0 x^{2}+y^{2}-12 x-10 y+36=0 \newlineWhat is the length of the radius of the circle whose equation is shown?
  1. Complete the Square: First, we need to complete the square for both xx and yy terms.\newlineFor xx: x212xx^2 - 12x. Half of 12-12 is 6-6, square it to get 3636. Add and subtract 3636 inside the equation.\newlineFor yy: y210yy^2 - 10y. Half of yy00 is yy11, square it to get yy22. Add and subtract yy22 inside the equation.
  2. Rewrite Equation: Rewrite the equation including the added terms for completing the square: x212x+36+y210y+253625+36=0x^2 - 12x + 36 + y^2 - 10y + 25 - 36 - 25 + 36 = 0
  3. Group Perfect Squares: Group the terms to form perfect squares: \newline(x212x+36)+(y210y+25)=36+2536(x^2 - 12x + 36) + (y^2 - 10y + 25) = 36 + 25 - 36
  4. Simplify Right Side: Simplify the right side of the equation: 36+2536=2536 + 25 - 36 = 25
  5. Write Left Side: Write the left side as perfect squares: \newline(x6)2+(y5)2=25(x - 6)^2 + (y - 5)^2 = 25
  6. Standard Form for Circle: The equation (x6)2+(y5)2=25(x - 6)^2 + (y - 5)^2 = 25 is now in standard form for a circle, (xh)2+(yk)2=r2(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2, where (h,k)(h,k) is the center and rr is the radius.
  7. Identify Radius: Identify the radius of the circle:\newlineSince the right side of the equation equals 2525, and in the form r2r^2, r2=25r^2 = 25.
  8. Solve for r: Solve for r:\newliner=25r = \sqrt{25}\newliner=5r = 5
