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
