On the xy-plane, each point on circle C has coordinates such
that x 0 and y 0. If the center of circle C is the point (3; 9),
what is the maximum possible area of C?	Choose the correct choice from the following options:
A) 6
B) 9
C) 24
D) 32
E) 64

Rationale: i think that theintentof this question is that the circle will have no co - ordinates that fit the following 2 forms : ( 0 , y ) or ( x , 0 ) . in real basic terms , this circle will neither touch ( nor cross ) the x - axis nor will it touch ( nor cross ) the y - axis . with a center at ( 3,8 ) , the longest possible radius would almost touch the x - axis , so the radius would be a little less than 3 . if the radius was 3 exactly , then the area would be 9 pi , which is approximately 28.26 since the circle ca n ' t touch the x - axis , the area has to be less than approximately 28.26 as it ' s written , none of the answers is clearly the correct one . c
Answer: C
