Learning Competency:
Define a circle.

Objective:
1. Give the standard form of an equation of a circle.
2. Identify the radius and center of the given equation of a circle.

Overview:
We now visit a familiar shape ever since kindergarten: the circle. A circle is the locus
of all points in the plane having the same fixed positive distance, called the radius, from a
fixed point, called the center.
The equation of a circle in Standard Form is given by:
(𝑥 − ℎ)2 + (𝑦 − 𝑘)2 = 𝑟 2
where r is the radius, and (h,k) is the center of the circle.

Example 1: Transform the equation 4𝑥 2 + 12𝑥 + 4𝑦 2 + 16𝑦 − 11 = 0 to standard

form. Identify the center and radius after.
Solution:

In this example, the center is at (-3/2, -2), and the radius is 3.

Note: For the following exercises and test, provide one whole sheet of paper for your
answers.
Exercise A.
Find the equation of the circle in standard form in the following conditions:
1. General form 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 + 10𝑥 − 2𝑦 = 55
2. Center is at C(2,-5) and radius is 3
3. Center at (-10,0) and passes through (-6,3)
4. Center at the origin and radius 5
5. Center at (-4,6) and is tangent to the x-axis

Exercise B.
Given the equation, identify the center and radius of the circle.
 1. (𝑥 − 4)2 + (𝑦 − 2)2 = 9
2. (𝑥 + 1)2 + 𝑦 2 = 25
3. 𝑥 2 − 4𝑥 + 𝑦 2 − 4𝑦 − 8 = 0
4. 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 − 14𝑥 + 12𝑦 = 3
5. 9𝑥 2 + 9𝑦 2 − 6𝑥 + 24𝑦 = 19

Test Yourself
A stadium is shaped where its left and right ends are circular arcs both with center at
C. What is the length of the stadium 50m from one of the straight sides? Refer to the figure
below.
