Essay Answer the following questions fully and completely on a separate sheet of paper. Refer to 4 point Rubric for scoring.
55. A new resort is being built on the shore of a lake that is roughly circular. Claire also lives on the lakeshore and she finds that
the new resort is directly across the lake from her house. If the lake is put on a coordinate plane with x and y in miles, the
coordinates of Claire's house are (-0.5,1.2) and the coordinates of the new resort are (0.5, -1.2).
a) Graph the circle
b) Is the center of the lake at the origin? Explain your answer.
c) Find an equation that models the shoreline of the lake. Explain your answer.
d) Suppose a road is being built that is tangent to the lake at Claire's house. Find an equation for the road. Explain your
answer.
57. The plans of a public park include a circular fountain. The outline of the fountain
can be modeled by the equation of a circle, where the units are meters and the
graph is on a grid map of the park. The fountain will be the major attraction in the
park Sidewalk
a) Determine the largest diameter the fountain can have below the sidewalk.
Explain your answer.
b) Write the equation the models the fountain. Explain your answer.
