Answer to Problem 51AYU
Solution:
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Diameter of the wheel
Radius
Maximum height of the wheel
Centre is on the -axis
Formula used:
Midpoint formula:
Midpoint M
Calculation:
Maximum height of the wheel - diameter of the wheel
The points and lie on the circle and they are the end points of a diameter.
Therefore, the centre of the circle is
Equation of the circle with centre and is
