Question

Which figure is described below?

Answer 1

Answer:

C; Circle

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are interested in giving a term to the locus of points which are at a certain distance from a fixed point.

The correct answer to this is a circle.

From the question, we can picture a situation which we have the point (1,2) as the center of the circle. This point serve the starting point in which all other points which are exactly 6 units away are plotted.

Thus, from this center point, we can mark off several points around the center point. By tracing the marked points from these center, we can obtain a circular path which when traced completely will give us the identity of a circle, where these points represent the line bounding the circle which is referred to the circumference of the particular circle in question.

Further more, from the definition of the radius of a circle, it is the distance from the center of a circle to the circumference. While the point (1,2) represents the center of the circle in question, the distance 6 units stand for the radius of the circle.
