Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the Equation of the Circle
The given equation is:
\[
x^{2} + y^{2} = 49
\]
Step 2: Determine the Center of the Circle
The standard form of a circle's equation is:
\[
(x - h)^{2} + (y - k)^{2} = r^{2}
\]
where \((h, k)\) is the center and \(r\) is the radius. Comparing this with the given equation, we see that \(h = 0\) and \(k = 0\).
Step 3: Determine the Radius of the Circle
The right side of the equation is \(49\), which is \(r^{2}\). Therefore, the radius \(r\) is:
\[
r = \sqrt{49} = 7
\]
