Answer:

Circle

Explanation:

This object is what we call "circle". All the points in the circle are at the same distance from a given point which is the center of the circle. Moreover, the distance between the center and every point on the circle is called "radius". Higher values for the radius imply points at a higher distance from the center.

Additionally, we can calculate the perimeter of the circle, or the circumference, with the following formula:

circumference = 2*(radius) pi

Where pi is an irrational number usually used as 3.14.

If you have doubts, try to draw a circle and measure the distance between the center and any point on the circle.
