For example:<br /><br />A circle has its center at (6, 7) and goes through the point (1, 4). A second circle is tangent to the first circle at the point (1, 4) and has one-fourth the area. What are the coordinates for the center of the second circle? Show your work or explain how you found your answer.<br /><br />This was one of the free response questions given. Not difficult at all, however I believe it requires fluency beyond what students need to demonstrate on the current California Geometry CST exam. No?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
