Circles (Lesson Objectives)
r is the radius
Standard Form of the Equation
of a Circle
If the center of the circle is not at the origin
x h 2
y k r

The radius is r.
General Form of the Equation of
a Circle
Every binomial squared has been
multiplied out.
Every term is on the left side, set equal to
0.

5. Find the center, radius, &
equation of the circle.
The radius is 12
The equation is
x2 + y2 = 144
6. Find the center, radius, &
equation of the circle.
The radius is 7
The equation is
(x – 1)2 + (y + 3)2 = 49
7. Graph the circle, identify
the center & radius.
(x – 3)2 + (y – 2)2 = 9
Center (3, 2)
Radius of 3
