If the lines and are two diameters of a circle of area square units, the equation of the circle is :
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
- Use the area to find the radius
Given area of the circle: So,
- Find the center of the circle
Since the given lines are diameters, both must pass through the center of the circle. Hence, the center is the point of intersection of and
Solve the system:
Multiply (1) by : Multiply (2) by :
Subtract:
Substitute into (2):
So the center is
- Write the equation of the circle
Standard form: With center and radius :
Expand:
- Compare with the options
This matches:
D:
- Verification with stored answer
Stored correct answer is D, which matches the derived answer.
