10. consider the circles with the following equations:
x^2+y^2=25 and
(x−9)^2+(y−12)^2=100.
a. what are the radii of the circles?
b. what is the distance between the centers of the circles?
c. make a rough sketch of the two circles to explain why the circles must be tangent to one another.

  a) 5 and 10

  b) 15

  c) The center-to-center distance is the sum of the radii, so the circles must be tangent.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Each equation is in standard form:

  (x -h)^2 + (y -k)^2 = r^2

so the first circle has radius √25 = 5, and the second circle has radius √100 = 10. The radii of the circles are 5 and 10.

__

b) The center-to-center distance can be found from the distance formula:

  d = √((x2-x1)^2 +(y2-y1)^2) = √((9-0)^2 +(12-0)^2) = √(81 +144)

  d = √225 = 15

The distance between centers if 15 units.

__

c) The circles must be tangent because their center-to-center distance is the same as the sum of their radii.

  5 + 10 = 15

0 is its x and y coordinate
