When we have a circumference on the plane, a point can be in three different positions regarding the circle we have in the drawing:
- Point outside the circumference
If the distance from the point to the center point of the circumference is greater than the length of the radius.
- Point on the circumference
If the distance from the point at the center of the circumference is exactly equal to the length of the radius of the circumference.
- Point within the circumference
If the distance from the point to the center of the circumference is less than the length of the radius.
