in the rectangular coordinate system , points ( 8 , 0 ) and ( – 8 , 0 ) both lie on circle c . what is the maximum possible value of the radius of c ?
the answer is c it takes 3 distinct points to define a circle . only 2 are given here . the two points essentially identify a single chord of the circle c . since no other information is provided , however , the radius of the circle can essentially be anything . all this information tell us is that the radius isgreater 8 c
sqrt(power(8, const_2))
