Question

What is the radius squared of a circle with endpoints (6,2) and (-3,-3)?

Options
A 26.5.
Correct Answer
B 40.5
C 45
D 42.25
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The distance between endpoints is √((6 - (-3))² + (2 - (-3))²) = √(9² + 5²) = √(81 + 25) = √106. The radius is half of this, so radius squared = (√106/2)² = 106/4 = 26.5.
