Question

A person is remodeling the front entrance to his home and needs to cut an arch for the top of an entranceway. The arch needs to be 24 ft wide and 6 ft high. To draw the arch, he will use a stretched string with chalk attached at an end as a compass.

a) Using a coordinate system, locate the center of the circle.
b) What radius should the person use to draw the arch?

System that uses coordinates to uniquely determine the position of points. The most common coordinate system is the Cartesian system, where points are given by distance along a horizontal x-axis and vertical y-axis from the origin. A polar coordinate system locates a point by its direction relative to a reference direction and its distance from a given point. In three dimensions, it leads to cylindrical and spherical coordinates.
