OverviewPlease note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In geometry, the power of a point is a real number h that reflects the relative distance of a given point from a given circle. Specifically, the power of a point P with respect to a circle C of radius r is definedwhere s is the distance from P to the center O of the circle. By this definition, points inside the circle have negative power, points outside have positive power, and points on the circle have zero power. For external points, the power equals the square of the radius of a circle centered on the given point that intersects the given circle orthogonally, i.e., at right angles . The power of a point is also known as the point's circle power or the power of a circle with respect to the point. Full Product DetailsAuthor: Lambert M. Surhone , Miriam T. Timpledon , Susan F.
