Answer

$${\text{The equation represents a circle with radius }}r = 3$$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & r = 6\sin \theta \cr & {\text{Multiply both sides of the equation by }}r \cr & {r^2} = 6r\sin \theta \cr & {\text{Convert to rectangular form, using }}y = r\sin \theta ,{\text{ }}{r^2} = {x^2} + {y^2} \cr & {x^2} + {y^2} = 6y \cr & {x^2} + {y^2} - 6y = 0 \cr & {\text{Completing the square}} \cr & {x^2} + {y^2} - 6y + 9 = 9 \cr & {x^2} + {\left( {y - 3} \right)^2} = {\left( 3 \right)^2} \cr & {\left( {x - h} \right)^2} + {\left( {y - k} \right)^2} = {r^2} \cr & {\text{The equation represents a circle with radius }}r = 3 \cr & {\text{centered at }}\left( {0,3} \right) \cr & {\text{Graph}} \cr} $$
