Problem

Study the uniqueness of a circle determined by a given centre and radius. a. (a) State the postulate that allows a circle to be constructed when a centre and a radius are given. b. (b) Given a fixed point OO and a fixed length 5 cm5\,\text{cm}, prove that not more than one circle can be drawn having centre OO and radius 5 cm5\,\text{cm}. c. (c) If another circle is drawn with centre OO and radius 5 cm5\,\text{cm}, what can you conclude about the set of points common to the two circles? Justify your answer.
