Find the equation of the circle whose centre is (-3, -2) and having circumference 16π.

Answer»

Circumference, 2πr = 16π 

⇒ 2r = 16 

⇒ r = 8 

Equation of the circle when centre and radius are known is (x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2 

⇒ (x + 3)+ (y + 2)2 = 82 

⇒ x2 + 6x + 9 + y2 + 4y + 4 = 64

⇒ x2 + y2 + 6x + 4y + 13 = 64 

⇒ x2 + y2 + 6x + 4y – 51 = 0
