Q:

An earthquake can be felt in a circular pattern from the epicenter. If the equation of this pattern is x2 + y2 = 2500, how many miles away from the epicenter can you feel the effects of the earthquake?

Accepted Solution

A:
the radius of the circle ( which is the same as the distance from the epicenter) = square root of 2500  which is 50
