Answer:

[tex]x^2 + y^2 = 1273885[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Area = 4000000[/tex]

[tex](h,k) =(0,0)[/tex]

Required

The equation of the circle

First, we calculate the radius of the circle using;

[tex]Area = \pi r^2[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]4000000= \pi r^2[/tex]

Divide both sides by [tex]\pi[/tex]

[tex]\frac{4000000}{\pi}= r^2[/tex]

Take [tex]\pi[/tex] as 3.14

[tex]\frac{4000000}{3.14}= r^2[/tex]

[tex]1273885.35032= r^2[/tex]

Approximate

[tex]1273885= r^2[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]r^2 = 1273885[/tex]

The equation of the circle is:

[tex](x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2[/tex]

Where:

[tex](h,k) =(0,0)[/tex]

[tex]r^2 = 1273885[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex](x - 0)^2 + (y -0)^2 = 1273885[/tex]

Open brackets

[tex]x^2 + y^2 = 1273885[/tex]

(c) is correct.

The difference in [tex]x^2 + y^2 = 1273885[/tex] and (c) in the question is due to approximation
