In this unit we find the equation of a circle, when we are told its centre and
its radius. There are two different forms of the equation, and you should be
able to recognise both of them. We also look at some problems involving
tangents to circles.

These videos require Windows Media Player (v10).
Please note: You may experience trouble with more recent upgrades to Internet Explorer (now v.7) and Media Player (now v.11). These no longer support streaming from the mms servers used by mathcentre, so we are recommending that you uninstall IE7 (IE6 lies underneath) and replace the new version of WMP with the fully functioning v.10 (you may need to find a download via google after uninstalling v.11). All those that have done this have reported back that everything is working again.
