- D33
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
- Write the general equation of the circle
A circle can be written as We use the three given points to determine .
- Substitute the point
So the circle is
- Substitute the point
- Substitute the point
- Solve for and
From (2):
Substitute into (1):
Then
Hence the circle is
- Find the fourth point condition
The point lies on the circle, so substitute:
Thus
But is already one of the given points, and the four points are distinct, so Therefore,
- Find the radius
For the circle complete the square:
So
- Compute
- Compare with the options
The value is So the correct option is C.
- Comparison with stored answer
Stored correct answer: C
Our derived answer: C
They agree.
