Plain-text version
In the standard (x, y) coordinate plane, the graph of (x + 3)² + (y + 5)² = 16 is a circle. What is the circumference of the circle, expressed in coordinate units? (A) 4π (B) 5π (C) 3π (D) 8π
Also written as: In the standard (x, y) coordinate plane, the graph of (x + 3)^2 + (y + 5)^2 = 16 is a circle. What is the circumference of the circle, expressed in coordinate units?
