Question 612627
show rhat the points A(-2,2) B(5,-5) C(4,2) are located on a circle with center w(1,-2) . what is the radius of the circle
------------
Find the distance squared from the center to each point.
----
From (1,-2) to A:
{{{r^2 = diffy^2 + diffx^2 = 4^2 + 3^2 = 25}}}
----
Do the same for B & C.  If they're equal, they on the circle.
-----
r^2 = 25
r = 5
