A circle is the cross section of a cone taken in a plane parellel to the base of the cone.

The set of all points equidistance from one point.

Infinite reflections along any axis through the center of the circle.

Where r= radius

Eccentricity of a circle is equal to zero because c (distance from Foci to center) equals 0, and 0/x equals zero for any value of x other than 0

To graph a circle from an equation in standard form, center the circle at the x-coordinate: the opposite of the number being added to x in parenthasees and y-coordinate: the opposite of the number being added to y in parenthasees. Then use the radius (r) in the equation to draw all points r units from the center.

The perfect circles in the Olympic Rings Logo represent's the ancient Greek view that perfect circles (the element ether) was the key to everything.
Betsy Has OCD and has a problem with circles that touch. She insists the Olympic logo would be better if none of the circles touched. Help Betsy by giving a suggestion for an new equation for the left-most blue ring that would make it not touch any other ring. The blue ring is centered at (0,0) with a radius of 3 on our axis.
