Answer

8.08

Use the distance formula:

[tex]\sf d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]

where (x1, y1), (x2, y1) are points

[tex]\rightarrow \sf d =\sqrt{(7-(-8))^2 + (4-(-2))^2}[/tex]

[tex]\rightarrow \sf d =\sqrt{(15)^2 + (6)^2}[/tex]

[tex]\rightarrow \sf d =3\sqrt{29}[/tex]

This is the length of diameter.

Then radius:

· diameter/2

[tex]\sf \cdot \dfrac{3\sqrt{29} }{2}[/tex]

[tex]\sf \cdot 8.0777[/tex]

[tex]\sf \cdot 8.08 \ \ (rounded \ to \ nearest \ hundreth)[/tex]
