Identify the center and radius of the circle (x−2) 2+(y−7) 2=81( x - 2 ) ^ { 2 } + ( y - 7 ) ^ { 2 } = 81(x2) 2+(y7) 2=81 .

A) center: (-7,-2) radius: 9
B) center: (2,7) radius: 9
C) center: (2,7) radius: 81
D) center: (-2,-7) radius: 9
E) center: (7,2) radius: 81

Center

The middle point of a shape or object, equidistant from all outer edges.

Radius

The distance from the center to any point on the circumference of a circle.
