30. Olympic Flag You are using a math software program to design a pattern for an Olympic flag. In addition
to the dimensions shown in the diagram, the distance between any two adjacent rings in the same row is 3
inches.

a. Use the given dimensions to write equations representing the outer circles of the five rings. Use
inches as units in a coordinate plane with the lower left corner of the flag at the origin.

b. Each ring is 3 inches thick. Explain how you can adjust the equations of the outer circles to write
equations representing the inner circles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation of a circle is:

(x − h)² + (y − k)² = r²

where (h, k) is the center of the circle and r is the radius.

The radius of each outer circle is 13".  The equations are:

(x − 28)² + (y − 44)² = 13²

(x − 57)² + (y − 44)² = 13²

(x − 86)² + (y − 44)² = 13²

(x − 42.5)² + (y − 31)² = 13²

(x − 71.5)² + (y − 31)² = 13²

The radius of each inner circle is 3" less than the outer circle, or 10".  We can adjust the equations to represent the inner circles by replacing the 13 with a 10.

or in radians

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the opposite side of angle x and hypotenuse of the right triangle.

Let's find the other side.
