Hello student,

To calculate the length of the radius you will need to calculate the distance between the two points (1,2) and (-3,-2).

If these two points are nearest and farthest from a particular point then joining the  two will give you the diameter of the circle.

Calculate the distance and divide it by two to get the length of the radius.

Hope this helps.

All the best!
