The endpoints of the diameter of a circle have the coordinates (3, 8) and (9, 16).



What are the coordinates of the center of the circle?

Verified Answer :

The coordinates of the center of this circle will be the average between the extreme points


C = ( (xo+x1)/2 , (yo+y1)/2)

Where,

xo = 3 and x1 = 9

yo = 8 and y1 = 16

Then us stay with"


C = ( (3+9)/2 , (8+16)/2)

C = ( 12/2 , 24/2)

C = ( 6 , 12 )

The coordinates of the center of a circle is (6,12)

Center

The coordinates of the center of a circle is halfway between the endpoints of the diameter

The endpoints of the diameter is given are:

(3,8) and (9,16)

Midpoint

The midpoint (M) of two points is calculated as:

\(M = \frac{1}{2} \times (x_1 + x_2, y_1 + y_2)\)

So, we have:

\(M = \frac{1}{2} \times (3+ 9, 8+ 16)\)

\(M = \frac{1}{2} \times (12, 24)\)

Expand the above equation

\(M = (\frac{1}{2} \times 12, \frac{1}{2} \times 24)\)

\(M =(6,12)\)

Hence, the coordinates of the center is (6,12)
