In a plane with the normal (x,y) coordinates, the usual distance formula is that the distance between (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is √((x1-x2)2+(y1-y2)2). This can be extended to n dimensions by letting the distance between (a1,a2,a3,...,an) and (b1,b2,b3,...,bn) be √((a1-b1)2+(a2-b2)2+...+(an-bn)2)

What are circles dimensioned by?

there are 3 measurements of a circle the diameter, which is the distance from one point of the circle through the center point to the other side the radius, which is the distance from the center point to any point of the circle (which is 1/2 of the diameter) and the circumference, which is the distance from one point on the circle all the way around to the point you started at


Is a point a radius or a diameter?

No, neither. The radius is the distance from the center point of a circle to its edge. The diameter is the distance from one edge to the other that passes through the center point. The diameter is therefore twice the radius.
