What is the standard form of an equation of a circle?
(x-0.2)^2+(y-1.1)^2=0.16
(x- h)^2+(y- k)^2= r^2 In this form, ( h, k) is the center of the circle and r is its radius. We are told that the center of the circle is ( 0.2, 1.1) and its radius is 0.4. This is enough information to write the equation. (x- 0.2)^2+(y- 1.1)^2= 0.4^2 ⇕ (x-0.2)^2+(y-1.1)^2=0.16
