Video Lessons:
Use the distance and/or midpoint formulas to solve the following.

Example: If the diameter of a circle is defined by the two points (-3, 4) and (7, 4), find the center and radius of the circle. (Hint: diameter = 2r)
Example: Find the area of a circle given center (-3, 3) and point (3, 3) on the circle.
