You’ll leave with these skills
01Find a circle’s center and radius from its graphClick the circle’s top and bottom points in Desmos, then take the point halfway between them as the center and half the distance between them as the radius.
02Spot the circle that touches an axis at exactly one pointGraph every answer choice and pick the circle that shows only one gray point on the axis the question names.
03Find every point where a line crosses a circleGraph the line and the circle together and click each gray point where they cross.
04Calculate area and volume from a formula in DesmosType each letter’s value from the question in its own input box in Desmos, then type the formula to get the answer.
