 Famed for its near perfect cone shape, the Mayon
Volcano is a tourist attraction in Albay.
When it threatens to erupt, residents within the eight
kilometer radius danger zone are advised to evacuate. If the
Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology
(PHILVOCS) issues a warning on an upcoming eruption of
Mayon Volcano, should a resident at 6 km east and 7 km
south of the volcano evacuate? Why or why not? Create a
visual advisory regarding the radar.

The equation of a circle is
based on the Distance
Formula and the fact that
all points on a circle are
equidistant from the
center.
(x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2

This is called the standard form of a circle’s equation.

 x 2 + y 2 + (-2h)x + (-2k)y + h2 + k 2 - r =
2 0
or
Ax 2 + By 2 + Cx + Dy + E = 0
This is called the general form of a circle’s equation.
