Recall that the radius is the distance from the center of the circle to the edge of the circle. So to find the radius, just find the distance from (4,8) to (5,9).\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"d=sqrt%28%28-1%29%5E2%2B%288-9%29%5E2%29\" Subtract \"5\" from \"4\" to get \"-1\".\r

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since \"d=sqrt%282%29\", this means that \"r=sqrt%282%29\" because the radius is the distance from the center to the edge of the circle.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"A=pi%2A2\" Square \"sqrt%282%29\" to get 2.\r
