How to find the 4 corners of a circle?

2 answers

The four corners of a circle can be found by using the equation x^2 + y^2 = r^2, where r is the radius of the circle. To find the four corners, set x and y to r and -r respectively, and solve for the coordinates of the four points. The four points will be (r, r), (r, -r), (-r, r), and (-r, -r).
clearly, those four "corners" do not lie on the circle, since r^2 + r^2 ≠ r^2\You might try (0,r), (0,-r), (r,0) and (-r,0)

though I'm not sure what the "corners" of a circle are. You have found the corners of a square in which the circle is inscribed.
