Circle Equations 7315C8
1. **Find the equation of the circle given the center and radius or diameter.**
The general equation of a circle with center $(h,k)$ and radius $r$ is:
$$ (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2 $$
If the diameter $d$ is given, then radius $r = \frac{d}{2}$.

**Problem 1:** Center at origin $(0,0)$, radius $16$.
Equation:
$$ (x - 0)^2 + (y - 0)^2 = 16^2 $$
$$ x^2 + y^2 = 256 $$
---
**Problem 2:** Center $(0,0)$, radius $8.56$.
Equation:
$$ x^2 + y^2 = 8.56^2 = 73.2736 $$
---
**Problem 3:** Center $(0,0)$, diameter $36$.
Radius:
$$ r = \frac{36}{2} = 18 $$
Equation:
$$ x^2 + y^2 = 18^2 = 324 $$
---
**Problem 4:** Center $(0,0)$, diameter $22.33$.
Radius:
$$ r = \frac{22.33}{2} = 11.165 $$
Equation:
$$ x^2 + y^2 = 11.165^2 = 124.66 $$
---
**Problem 5:** Center $(8,10)$, radius $3$.
Equation:
$$ (x - 8)^2 + (y - 10)^2 = 3^2 = 9 $$
---
**Problem 6:** Center $(2,-3)$, diameter $9$.
Radius:
$$ r = \frac{9}{2} = 4.5 $$
Equation:
$$ (x - 2)^2 + (y + 3)^2 = 4.5^2 = 20.25 $$
