Determine the equation of a circle containing point A (5,2), tangent to the abscissa and having radius r = 5.
I am not sure where this translation is correct so I drew a picture. The point is that the circle touches the abscissa.
I thought about using the point where the circle touches the abscissa (x, 0), however the solution takes a different approach. It says q=r=5. S(p, q) is the center if a circle in my book.
I do not understand how q=r=5. Please explain.
