Find the center and radius of the circle $LaTeX: \displaystyle \left(x - 3\right)^{2} + \left(y - 4\right)^{2}=64$ .

Using the equation of a circle $LaTeX: \displaystyle (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$ to identify $LaTeX: \displaystyle h,k,$ and $LaTeX: \displaystyle r$ gives: $LaTeX: \displaystyle h=3$ , $LaTeX: \displaystyle k=4$ , and $LaTeX: \displaystyle r=8$ . The center is at $LaTeX: \displaystyle (3,4)$ and the radius is $LaTeX: \displaystyle r = 8$ .
