 From your previous lesson, you also have learned how to determine the center and radius of
a circle given its equation and vice versa.

Example 1: What is the center and radius of the circle (x – 3)2 + (y + 2)2 = 49.
Solution:
Note that the center of the circle is at (h, k). Rewrite the equation in the form (x
– h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2 to determine its center and radius.
(x – 3)2 + (y + 2)2 = 49 (x – 3)2 + (y + 2)2 = 72
The center of the circle is (3, –2) and its radius is 7 units.
Example 2: What is the equation of the circle in standard form whose center is at (4, 5) and
whose radius is 6 units?
Solution: Given; (h, k) = (4, 5) ; r = 5
Substitute the values of h, k, and r in (x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2
(x – 4)2 + (y – 5)2 = 62 (x – 4)2 + (y – 5)2 = 36
The equation of the circle in standard form is (x – 4)2 + (y – 5)2 = 25.

Introduction of the Topic

Lesson 1: Graph and Solve Problems Involving Circles and Other

Geometric Figures
To graph circles on a coordinate plane, rewrite a given equation in standard form to determine
its center and radius of the circle. Use this to draw its graph.
Example 1: On a coordinate plane, graph the circle represented by the equation x2 + y2 =
16.
Solution:
(x – 0)2 + (y – 0)2 = 42 ➢ Rewrite the given equation in the
form (x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2.

Center (0, 0) ➢ Determine the center and the

radius of the circle.
radius = 4 units

➢ Locate the coordinates of the center

of the circle on the coordinate plane
which will serve as the first point.
From the center, construct a line
segment, either to the right, to the
left, above or below the center, equal
to the given measure of the radius to
get another point, which is a point
on the circle.

➢ Use the two given points to draw the

https://tinyurl.com/yc8l6zwv

circle by using a compass or a string.

See the illustration on the left.

➢ Label the graph with the given

equation of the circle.

MATH 10 QUARTER 2 WEEK 9 3

 Another way of graphing the given equation of the circle, if you don’t have these materials.

➢ From the center, count out r units

(the radius), in four different
directions (right, left, up, and down)
to create four points.

➢ Connect the points with the best

curve that you can to sketch the
circle.

➢ Label the graph with the given

equation of the circle.

Example 2: On a coordinate plane, graph the circle represented by the

equation (x + 2)2 + (y – 4)2 = 25.
Solution:

(x + 2)2 + (y – 4)2 = 52 ➢ Rewrite the given equation in

standard form, (x – h)2 + (y –
k)2 = r2.
Center (–2, 4); radius = 5 units ➢ Determine the center and the
radius of the circle.

➢ Locate the coordinates of the

given center of the circle on the
coordinate plane. From the
center, count out r units (the
radius) in four different
directions (right, left, up, and
down) to create four points.
Connect the points with the best
curve that you can to sketch the
graph of the circle.

➢ Label the graph with the given

equation of the circle.

Example 3: On a coordinate plane, graph the circle represented by the equation

MATH 10 QUARTER 2 WEEK 9 4

 x2 + y2 – 6x – 135 = 0.

Solution:
➢ The given equation is written
x2 + y2 – 6x – 135 = 0
in general form. Group terms
x2 – 6x + y2 = 135 involving x, and terms
involving y. Then, complete
(x2 – 6x ) + y2 = 135
the square on x2 – 6x, and
(x2 – 6x + 9 ) + y2 = 135 + 9 factor the trinomial. Then,
rewrite it in standard form,
(x – 3)2 + y2 = 144
(x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2.
(x – 3)2 + (y – 0)2 = 122

Center (3, 0); radius = 12 ➢ Determine the center and

the radius of the circle.

➢ Locate (3, 0) on the coordinate

plane. From the center, count
out 12 units (the radius) in four
different directions (right, left,
up, and down) to create four
points. Connect the points with
the best curve that you can to
sketch the graph of the circle.

➢ Label the graph with the given

equation of the circle.

Example 4: Find the equation, in standard form, of a circle whose center is C(–1, –1), and
passes through the point P(–5, –1). Draw the circle.

Solution: 1. Given center (h, k) = (–1, –1)

2. Substitute the values of h and k to (x

– h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2. So,
(x + 1)2 + (y +1)2 = r2

3. To find r, count the number of units

from the C(–1, –1) to P(–5, –1). So, r
= 4 units.

Thus, the equation of the circle is (x + 1) 2

+ (y + 1)2 = 42 or
(x + 1)2 + (y + 1)2 = 16.

Another way of finding the radius r on the above example is by using Distance Formula. It is
defined by the equation, d =√(𝑥2 − 𝑥1 )2 + (𝑦2 − 𝑦1 )2

Solution:

Given: C(–1, –1), P(–5, –1)

Let (x1, y1) = (–1, –1) and (x2, y2) = (–5, –1)
Substitute the values of x1, y1, x2, and y2 to the formula and simplify.

d =√(𝑥2 − 𝑥1 )2 + (𝑦2 − 𝑦1 )2

= √[5 − (−1)]2 + [−1 − (−1) ]2

MATH 10 QUARTER 2 WEEK 9 5

 = √(−4 )2 + (0)2

= √16

d = 4 units ( radius )

Thus, the equation of the circle is (x + 1) 2 + (y + 1)2 = 42 or

(x + 1)2 + (y + 1)2 = 16

Example 5: A router for a wireless network in Mrs. Garcia’s house has a range of 100
meters. If drawn on a coordinate plane, the router is located at (20, 40). Draw
the graph and find the equation of the circle, in standard form, which
represents the router coverage.

Given:

(20, 40) – the router location (the

coordinates of the center of the circle)

100 meters – the router’s coverage

(the radius of the circle)

Solution:
(x – h)2 + (y – h)2 = r2
(x – 20)2 + (y – 40)2 = 1002
(x – 20)2 + (y – 40)2 = 10000
Thus, the equation of the circle is
(x – 20)2 + (y – 40)2 = 10000.

Example 6: The coordinates of the endpoints of a central angle of a circle are (13, 4) and
(6, -3). When two endpoints are connected it forms an isosceles triangle. If the
radius of the circle is 7 units, what is the perimeter of the triangle?

Solution:

Given:

(13, 4) and (6, -3) = the two endpoints of the central angle
7 units = radius of the circle

Note that isosceles triangle is

defined as a triangle that has
two equal sides. Since two
sides of the triangle are radii of
the circle, therefore the two
sides measure 7 units each. To
solve for the length of the third
side, use distance formula.

Solution:

( x 2 − x1)2 + ( y 2 − y1)2
d =

= (13 − 6)2 + [4 − (−3)]2 = 7 2 + 7 2 = 49 + 49 = 98 = 7 2

units

MATH 10 QUARTER 2 WEEK 9 6

 Note that the perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the length of its three sides. If
the sides of the triangle is denoted by a,b, and c, the perimeter P is defined as P =
a + b + c.

Therefore, the perimeter of the triangle is 7 + 7 + 7 2 = 14 + 7 2 units.
