What is the definition of circle?

A circle is a simple shape of Euclidean geometry consisting of those points in a plane that are a given distance from a given point, the center.simplified, it is all the points on a plane that are the same distance from a given point.


A circle is the collection of points in a plane that are the same distance from a given point in the plane?

true


A collection of points in the plane whose distance from fixed point is constant?

That's a circle. The "fixed point" is the center of the circle, and the constant distance is its radius.


True or false a circle is the set of all points in a plane that lie a fixed distance from a fixed point?

That's false


What is the mathematical definition of a circle?

A circle is the set of all points in a plane that are a given distance (or a fixed distance) from another point. Take a plane, and then pick any point on it. Then pick a distance from that point you picked and connect all the points that are that distance from your fixed point. That will describe the circumference of a circle. Another idea is to take a plane, pick any point, and then take a compass and put the point of that instrument on that point you picked. Then set a distance on the compass and draw a circle. That circle will be that set of all points a fixed distance from the original point you picked. (A string will work as well as a compass if that string is not stretched to draw the circle.)


The center of a circle is a example of what?

A point. In fact it is fixed point and the locus of all points, in a plane that is a fixed distance from that fixed point defines the circle.
