Let (h, k) be the center of a
circle and r be the radius.
Suppose (x, y) is a point on                                 (x, y)
the circle, then the distance
between (x, y) and the center                  (h, k)    r
is r. Hence,
r = √ (x – h)2 + (y – k)2

A circle is the set of all the points that have equal distance r,
