Question on: JAMB Mathematics - 2021

P(-6, 1) and Q(6, 6) are the two ends of the diameter of a given circle. Calculate the radius.

A

6.5 units

B

13.0 units

C

3.5 units

D

7.0 units

Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: A

PQ\(^2\) = (x2 - x1)\(^2\)  + (y2 - y1)\(^2\) 

= 12\(^2\)  + 5\(^2\) 
= 144 + 25
= 169

PQ = √169 = 13

PQ = Diameter = 2 * Radius, r

r = PQ/2 = 6.5
