A circular archery target board with a diameter of 2 metres is mounted on a vertical

wall of length 20 metres and height 8 metres.
Taking the bottom left corner of the wall as the origin and 1 unit to represent 1 metre,
(a)

find the position of the centre of the target board, in coordinates form with
reference to the wall, if it is represented by the equation
x 2 y 2 16 x 8 y 79 0

An archer, suffering from serious astigmatism, sees an exact image of the target board
in addition to the actual one. This image appears to touch the actual target board on its
right and at the same height from the floor.
(b) Find the equation that describes the image that he sees.
(c) If he accidentally took aim at the extreme right of the image, describe where his
arrow will land with reference to the centre of the actual target board.
