( x - 10 )^2 + (y - 10 )^2 = 144 (x−10)2+(y−10)2=144
Explanation:
The standard form of the equation of a circle is :
(x - a )^2 + (y - b )^2 = r^2 (x−a)2+(y−b)2=r2 where (a , b ) are the coordinates of the centre and r , the radius.
here the centre is (10 , 10 ) and r = 12
substitute these values into the standard form to obtain equation.
rArr (x - 10 )^2 + (y - 10 )^2 = 144⇒(x−10)2+(y−10)2=144
