The standard form of the equation of a circle with
its center at the origin is
x y r
2 2 2
r is the radius of the circle so if we take the square root of the
right hand side, we'll know how big the radius is.
Notice that both the x and y terms are squared. Linear
equations don’t have either the x or y terms squared.
Parabolas have only the x term was squared (or only the
y term, but NOT both).
FIND THE STANDARD EQUATION
1. Center at the origin, radius =3
2. Center at (4,-3), radius = 7
3. Center at (-2,3), radius = 3
4. Center at (5,6), radius = 2 2
5. . Center at (-2,3), tangent to x-axis
IDENTIFYING THE CENTER AND RADIUS
1. x2 + y2 = ¼, what is the center?
IDENTIFYING THE CENTER AND RADIUS
2. Find the radius of 5x2 + 5y2 = 125
IDENTIFYING THE CENTER AND RADIUS
3. x2 + y2 + 14x + 12y = 36, find the
radius and center.
IDENTIFYING THE CENTER AND RADIUS
4. x2 + y2 + 8y=33, find the radius and
center.
“When your body hears the
even, one beat per second of
music, your heart rate and
pulse relax to the beat. When
you are in this relaxed, but alert
state, your mind is able to
concentrate more easily. Music
corresponds to and affects our
physiological conditions.”
-Dr. Georgi Lozanov
Let's look at the equation x y 9
2 2
This is r2 so r = 3
The center of the circle is at the origin and the radius is 3.
Let's graph this circle.
Count out 3 in all Center at (0, 0)
directions since
that is the radius
-7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
If the center of the circle is NOT at the origin then the
equation for the standard form of a circle looks like this:
x h y k
2 2
r 2
The center of the circle is at (h, k). This is r2 so r = 4
x 3 y 1
2 2

Find the center and radius and graph this circle.
The center of the circle is at (h, k) which is (3,1).
The radius is 4

If you take the equation of a circle in standard form for
example:
x2 y4 4
2 2
This is r2 so r = 2
(x - (-2))
Remember center is at (h, k) with (x - h) and (y - k)
since the x is plus something and not minus, (x + 2)
can be written as (x - (-2))
You can find the center and radius easily.
The center is at (-2, 4) and the radius is 2.
But what if it was not in standard form but multiplied out (FOILED)
x 4 x 4 y 8 y 16 4
2 2
Moving everything to one side in descending order and
combining like terms we'd have:
x y 4 x 8 y 16 0
2 2
x y 4 x 8 y 16 0
2 2
If we'd have started with it like this, we'd have to complete the
square on both the x's and y's to get in standard form.

Now let's work some examples:
Find an equation of the circle with center at (0, 0) and radius 7.
Let's sub in center and radius values in the standard form
x 0h y k0
2 2
7r 2
x y 49
2 2
Find an equation of the circle with center at (0, 0) that passes
through the point (-1, -4).
Since the center is at (0, 0) we'll have
x y r
2 2 2
The point (-1, -4) is on the circle so should work when
we plug it in the equation:
1 4
2 2
r 2

Subbing this in for r2 we have:
x y 17

Find an equation of the circle with center at (-2, 5) and radius 6
Subbing in the values in standard form we have:
x -2h y k5
2 2
6r 2
x 2 y 5
2 2

Find an equation of the circle with center at (8, 2) and passes
through the point (8, 0).
Subbing in the center values in standard form we have:
x 8h y k2
2 2
r 2
Since it passes through the point (8, 0) we can plug this
point in for x and y to find r2.
8 8 0 2

r 2

x 8 y 2

Identify the center and radius and sketch the graph:
9 x 9 y 64
2 2
9 9 9
To get in standard form we don't want coefficients on the
squared terms so let's divide everything by 9.
Remember to square
64
x y
2 2 root this to get the
radius.

So the center is at (0, 0) and the radius is 8/3.

Identify the center and radius and sketch the graph:

Remember the center values end up being the opposite sign of what
is with the x and y and the right hand side is the radius squared.
So the center is at (-4, 3) and the radius is 5.

Find the center and radius of the circle:

Example 1. A circular play area with radius 3 m is to be
partitioned into two sections using a straight fence as
shown in Figure 1.20. How long should the fence be?
GeoG
Solution: To determine the length of the fence, we need to
determine the coordinates of its endpoints. From Figure 1.20,
the endpoints have x coordinate -1 are on the circle x2 + y2 =
9. Then 1 + y2 = 9, or 𝑦 = ±2 2. Therefore, the length of the
fence is 4 2 ≈ 5.66 𝑚
Example 2. A street with two lanes, each 10 ft wide,
goes through a semicircular tunnel with radius 12 ft.
How high is the tunnel at the edge of each lane? Round
off to 2 decimal places.
x2 + y2 = r2
102 + y2 = 122
𝑦 = 2 11 ≈ 6.63 𝑓𝑡
Example 3. A piece of a broken plate was dug up in an
archaeological site. It was put on top of a grid, as shown
in Figure 1.13, with the arc of the plate passing through
A(-7, 0), B(1, 4) and C(7, 2). Find its center, and the
standard equation of the circle describing the boundary
of the plate.

Since the midpoint N

of BC is , = (4, 3), and mBC =

2−4 1
= − , the perpendicular bisector
7−1 3
of BC has equation y - 3 = 3(x - 4), or equivalently, y = 3x-9.
Sketch
Since the midpoint M
−7+1 0+4 4−0 1
of AB is , = (-3, 2), and mAB = = , the
2 2 1+7 2
perpendicular bisector of AB has equation
y - 2 = -2(x + 3), or equivalently, y = -2x - 4.
The intersection of the two lines
y = 2x - 4 and y = 3x - 9 is (1, -6).
The standard equation is thus
(x - 1)2 + (y + 6)2 = 100
A Cartesian coordinate system was used to
identify locations on a circular track. As shown in
