Use the distance formula to find the diameter:

d = sqrt((x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2)

Diameter = sqrt((-2 - -2)^2 + (-2 - 3)^2)

Diameter = sqrt((0)^2 + -5^2)

Diameter = sqrt(5^2)

Diameter = 5

The radius is half the diameter: 5/2 = 2.5 units

24 were at school
24=2/3 of all
times both sides by 3/2
72/2=all
