Consider the points A.
Definition: Let C be a given point. The set of all points P having the same
distance from C is called a circle. The point C is called the center of the circle, and
the common distance r its radius.

Example: A street with two lanes, each 10 ft wide, goes through a
semicircular tunnel with radius 12 ft. How high is the tunnel at the edge
of each lane? Round off to 2 decimal places.
Example: A circular play area with radius 3 m is to be partitioned into
two sections using a straight fence as shown in Figure below. How long
should the fence be?
