Question

What do you do in the following problem... "Mrs. Peugeot is drawing circles for her art class and wants to make sure they are all the same size. If the center of the circle is at (-6, 17) and a point on the circle is on (12, 34), what is the radius of the circle?"

Answer 1

radius of circle = point on the circle - center of the circle

radius (x, y) = point (x, y) - center (x, y)

radius (x, y) = (12 - - 6, 34 - 17) = (18, 17)
