4. Which diagram shows a correct drawing of a circle, using the formal definition of a circle?
A circle is a set of points that are equidistant from a given point, the center. The black "line" in the non-shaded diagram is the circle.
A circle is a set of points that are equidistant from a given point, the center. The black "line" in the non-shaded diagram is a circle. The blue shaded area is the area of the circle, not the circle itself.
