Objectives
At the end of the session, the learners should be able to:
1.illustrate the center-radius form of the equation of a circle
2.determine the center and radius of a circle given its equation and vice versa; and
3.sketch the graph of circles and solve problems involving circles and other geometric figures.
Circle
A circle is a set of coplanar points which is equidistant from a fixed
point called the center of the circle.
Equation of a Circle with center at (0,0)
A(x,y)
r
C (0,0)
Using the distance formula,
CA = (x − 0)2
+ ( y − 0) = r

(x ) 2
+ (y) = r

r A(x,y)
C (h,k)
The equation of the circle at center (h,k) is the same in finding
the length of AC(radius) with endpoints C(h,k) and A(x,y) using the
distance formula.
CA = (x − h ) + ( y − k )

=r
Squaring both sides, we get
(x − h ) 2
+ (y − k ) = r

(x 2 2
) (
− 2hx + h + y − 2ky + k
2 2
)= r 2
x + y − 2hx − 2ky + h + k − r = 0
