Problem 5

  1. Graph the circle \((x-2)^2+(y-1)^2=25\).
  2. For each point, determine if it is on the circle. If not, decide whether it is inside the circle or outside of the circle.
    1. \((4,0)\)
    2. \((\text-3,3)\)
    3. \((\text-2,\text-2)\)
  3. How can you use distance calculations to decide if a point is inside, on, or outside a circle?

Problem 6

The triangle whose vertices are \((2,5), (3,1),\) and \((4,2)\) is transformed by the rule \((x,y) \rightarrow (x-2,y+4)\). Is the image similar or congruent to the original figure?

A:

The image is congruent to the original triangle.

B:

The image is similar but not congruent to the original triangle.

C:

The image is neither similar nor congruent to the original triangle.
