Locating the center of a circle that forms an arc |
2015-04-23 |
|
From Ken:
Find the Cartesian coordinates of the center of an arc with the given location of the beginning and end points and radius length. Not the midpoint of the circumference but the actual point that the arc
is drawn around.
I know their are two answers depending on the direction of the arc. Unless we assume that all arcs are drawn counter clock wise.
Thanks

From Carly: Suppose ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral, i.e A, B, C, and D are the points on a circle,
given in order going around the circle. Show that if we join each of A, B, C, and D to the orthocentre
of the triangle formed by the other three, then the resulting line segments all intersect in a common midpoint.

From Matyan:
Find the standard equation of the circle that passes through the points (0,4) and (3,7) with center on the line
2x-y+4=0.
I've tried substituting the two points to the general equation of a circle, but I can't solve it without a third equation. The problem here is I don't really know how to use the given line of 2x-y+4=0. Please help. Thank you.
