The maximum distance between the point (-5, 0) and a point on the circle $$X^{2} + Y^{2} = 4$$ is .......

Correct Answer: 7

Plotting the point (-5,0) and the circle $$X^{2} + Y^{2} = 4$$ on graph.

We see that the maximum distance will be 3cm+4cm = 7cm

That distance is between (-5,0) and (2,0).

(2,0) is the farthest point on circle from (-5,0)
