10-1 Introduction to Conic Sections
Because a diameter must
pass through the center of
a circle, the midpoint of a
diameter is the center of
the circle. The radius of a
circle is the distance from
the center to any point on
the circle and equal to half
the diameter.
Helpful Hint
The midpoint formula uses averages. You can
think of xM as the average of the x-values and yM
as the average of the y-values.

Step 2 Find the radius.
Use the Distance Formula with (2.5, –2) and
(0, –8)
r = ( 5 – 2.5)2 + (4 – (–2))2
The radius is the same using (5, 4).

Step 2 Find the radius.
Use the Distance Formula with (8, 14) and
(14, 22).
r = ( 2 – 8)2 + (6 – 14)2
The radius is the same using (2, 6).
