This Radius of a Circle calculator computes the radius of a circle given the circle's center and a point Circleanywhere on the circle. 

INSTRUCTIONS: Enter the following:

• (h) This is the X-coordinate of the circle's center
• (k) This is the Y-coordinate of the circle's center
• (x) This is the X-coordinate of the point on the circle
• (y) This is the Y-coordinate of the point on the circle

Radius: The calculator returns the radius of the circle defined by these two points. 

To compute the general form of the equation of a circle from the center point (h,k) and a point on the circle (x,y), CLICK HERE.  The general form of a circle is typically as follows:  X² + bX + Y² + dY + e = 0

The Math

Note, the radius in this calculation is simply the distance between the two points. The circle's center can be placed anywhere in the X-Y Plane. The circle in this equation is centered at the point (h,k) and the point on the circle is (x,y)
