in the xy - plane the point ( - 2 - 3 ) is the centre of a circle , the point ( - 2 , 2 ) lies inside the circle and the point ( 5 , - 3 ) lies outside the circle . if the radius r of the circle r is an integer then r =
"can be solved without much calculations . you are given that ( - 2 , - 3 ) is the center of the circle . point ( 5 , - 3 ) lies inside the circle - - - > the radius is lesser than distance of ( - 2 , - 3 ) from ( 5 , - 3 ) - - - > lesser than 7 units but the radius will also be greater than the distance of ( - 2 , - 3 ) from ( - 2,2 ) - - - - > greater than 5 units . thus the radius is > 5 but < 7 and as it is an integer , the only possible value of radius = 6 units . a is the correct answer ."
divide(add(subtract(5, negate(2)), 5), 2)
