CIRCLES
PART 1. FILL IN THE BLANK. Answer the following questions or complete the statements by writing the
appropriate words or amounts in the answer blanks.
1. _____________ are curves obtained by the intersection of a plane and a cone.
2. A conic section that is formed when the plane (not necessarily vertical) intersects both cones to form two
unbounded curves is called a _____________.
3. _______________ is formed when the plane intersects only one cone to form an unbounded curve.
4. A ______________ is a conic section which is formed when the plane is horizontal as it intersects the
cone.
5. _____________ is a when the (tilted) plane intersects only one cone to form a bounded curve.
6. _____________ is a set of all points in a plane which are equidistant from a given point C in the plane.
7. The standard equation of the circle whose center at (h, k) and radius of r is __________________.

PART 2. SOLVING. Write your answers with a complete solution on one whole sheet of yellow paper/s and
attach it to the worksheet.
A. Find the standard equation of the circle which satisfies the given conditions.

5. Center at (−2,3), tangent to x- axis
6. Center at (−2,3), tangent to y- axis
7. Center at (−2,3), tangent to line 𝑥 = −10
8. Center at (−2,3), tangent to 𝑦 = 5
9. Center at (−2,3), tagent to line 3𝑥 − 4𝑦 + 6 = 0

10. Center at (1, −1) and twice the area of the circle, (𝑥 − 7)2 + (𝑦 − 7)2 = 7
