One of the lamp posts at a bank has a motion detector on it, and the equation (x 15)2 (y−12)2=25 describes the boundary within which motion can be sensed. what is the greatest distance, in feet, a person could be from the lamp and be detected? 5 ft 10 ft 50 ft 125 ft

5 feet is the greatest distance that a person could be from the lamp and be detected.

What is equation of circle?

A circle is defined as round plane figure whose boundary (the circumference) consists of points equidistant from a fixed point (the center).

Since we have given that

The equation is :

[tex](x+15)^2+(y-12)^2=25[/tex]

It is the equation of circle in which center is (h,k) i.e. ( 15,12)

The general equation of circle is given by

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

Here, the radius 'r' is given by

[tex]r^2=25[/tex]

[tex]r=\sqrt{25[/tex]

[tex]r=5[/tex]

Here, the greatest distance a person could be from the lamp and be detected is represented by radius i.e. r = 5 feet.

Hence, 5 feet is the greatest distance that a person could be from the lamp and be detected.
