Yeric designs a circular cushion by cutting pieces of fabric to sew together as the front and back of the cushion. He cuts each piece of fabric according to the equation x2 + y2 = 100 with units in inches. Based on this equation, what is the diameter of the cushion?

Answer
A
5 in.
B
10 in.
C
20 in.
D
100 in.

Explanation

A circle centered at the origin has equation x² + y² = r², where r is its radius. Since r² = 100, the radius is 10 inches, so the diameter is 2 × 10 = 20 inches. The correct choice is C, 20 in.
