Green Bridge Learning Resource For The Equation Of A Circle

Overview

A circle is the set of points a fixed distance from a centre, and that simple idea becomes a neat equation. Once you can read a circle's centre and radius from its equation, a whole family of coordinate-geometry problems opens up.

In this lesson you will know and use the equation of a circle with centre \((a, b)\) and radius \(r\), and identify the centre and radius from a circle equation in any form.
