Points on circle

In a Cartesian coordinate system with origin O, a circle k is drawn with centre O and radius r = 2 cm. Write all points on circle k whose coordinates are integers. Write all points on the circle with centre O and radius r = 5 cm whose coordinates are integers. How many such points are there?

Final Answer:

n =  12

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} r_1=2\text{cm} \\ (x-0{)}^2+(y-0{)}^2=r_1^2 \\ {x}^2+y^2=4 \\ k:[2,0];[-2,0];[0,2];[0,-2] \\ {r}_2=5\text{cm} \\ (x-0{)}^2+(y-0{)}^2=r_2^2 \\ {x}^2+y^2=25 \\ l:[5,0];[-5,0];[0,5];[0,-5]; \\ [3,4];[3,-4];[-3,4];[-3,-4] \\ [4,3],[-4,3],[4,-3],[-4,-3] \\ n=3\cdot 4=12 \end{gathered}$$

The equation has the following integer solutions:

x^2 + y^2 = 25
