Answer

a) 50 feet b) 5 feet c) 55 feet d) $(0, 55)$ e) $(x-0)^2 +(y-55)^2=2500$

Work Step by Step

a) radius = diameter /2 $r = 100/2$ $r=50$ b) max height - diameter = height to bottom of wheel $105-100=5$ c) radius + height from ground = center $50 + 5 = 55$ d) origin is at $x=0$ and has a height of the center of the wheel $(0, 55)$ e) equation of circle: $(x-h)^2 +(y-k)^2=r^2$ center point is located at $(0, 55)$ radius is $50$ $(x-0)^2 +(y-55)^2=50^2$
