Solving Word Problems Involving Circles

In solving word problems involving circles, it is important


that we know the different parts of the circle and how to
graph them. Illustrations can also be helpful by visualizing
the given problem.

How is the concept of graphing
circles helpful in solving
situational problems involving
circles?

23
Refer to the given problem below.

A hospital is designated to offer service to the cities under


its 13-km radius. The lettered points on the coordinate
plane represent the cities around it.

24
Identify the following:

1. location of the hospital


2. sketch of the circle
3. cities within the service of the
hospital

25
Solve the following problems, then sketch the graph.

1. Tricia is watering the plants in their garden circularly


using a water hose. She is watering the plants without
leaving her position at . The location of the farthest plant
that the water can reach is at . Find the range of the
water hose in feet and determine the standard form of
the equation of the circle.

26
Solve the following problems, then sketch the graph.

2. A lighthouse is located at the origin. The beam of the


lighthouse can be seen up to 15 miles, and you are on a
ship that is 8 miles east and 10 miles north of the
lighthouse. Will you be able to see the lighthouse
beam? Determine the standard and general form of the
equation of the circle.

27
To solve situational problems involving circles:

● Use the method of completing the square to


determine the location of the center given the
general form of the equation of the circle.

28
● To identify the equation of a circle given its center
and radius, use the standard form of the equation
of a circle.

● In finding the radius given the center and a point


on a circle, use the distance formula.
