  5. Many scientists believe that an asteroid slammed into Earth about 65 million years ago on what is now Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula, creating an enormous crater that is now deeply buried by sediment. Use the labeled points on the outline of the circular crater to estimate its diameter. (Each unit in the coordinate plane represents 1 mile.) EXAMPLE 5 Solve a multi-step problem Asteroid Crater

  6. STEP 1 Write equations for the perpendicular bisectors of AOand OBusing the method of Example 4. Perpendicular bisector of AO Perpendicular bisector of OB EXAMPLE 5 Solve a multi-step problem SOLUTION y = – x + 34 y = 3x + 110

  7. STEP 2 Find the coordinates of the center of the circle, where AOand OBintersect, by solving the system formed by the two equations in Step 1. EXAMPLE 5 Solve a multi-step problem y= – x + 34 Write first equation. 3x + 110 = – x + 34 Substitute for y. 4x = – 76 Simplify. x = – 19 Solve for x. y = – (– 19) + 34 Substitute the x-value into the first equation. y = 53 Solve for y. The center of the circle isC (– 19, 53).

  8. STEP 3 Calculate the radius of the circle using the distance formula. The radius is the distance between Cand any of the three given points.
