Right triangle ABC is located at A (-1,-2), B(-1, 1), and C (3, 1) on a coordinate plane. What is the equation of a circle A with radius AC? Olx + 1)2 + y + 2)2 = 9
O(x + 1)2 + (y + 2)2 = 25
OOX - 3)2 + y - 12 = 16
Ox - 3)2 + (y - 142 = 25

  (x +1)^2 + (y +2)^2 = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

A diagram of the given triangle shows you it has side lengths of 3 and 4, so the square of the hypotenuse is ...

  (AC)^2 = (AB)^2 +(BC)^2 = 3^2 +4^2

  (AC)^2 = 25

The center of the circle is at A(-1, -2), so the equation is ...

  (x -h)^2 +(y -k)^2 = r^2

for the circle centered at (h, k) with radius r.

We know that the square of the radius (r^2) is 25, so we can write the equation as ...

  (x +1)^2 +(y +2)^2 = 25

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
