Evaluate the circle equation:
(x - 2)
2 + (y + 5)
2 = 81
This circle equation is in standard form:
(x - h)
2 + (y - k)
2 = r
2Determine h:
h = -1 * -2 = 2
Determine k:
k = -1 * +5 = -5
Determine center of the circle:
Therefore, our circle has a center (h, k) = (2, -5)
Determine radius:
Therefore, we have r
2 = 81
r = ±√
81Since a radius is always positive
We have r =

How does the Circle Equation Calculator work?
Free Circle Equation Calculator - This calculates the standard equation of a circle and general equation of a circle from the following given items:
* A center (h,k) and a radius r
* A diameter A(a1,a2) and B(b1,b2)
This also allows you to enter a standard or general form equation so that the center (h,k) and radius r can be determined.
This calculator has 8 inputs.
What 1 formula is used for the Circle Equation Calculator?
(x - h)2 + (y - k)2 = r2 where (h,k) is the center of the circle and r = radius.
