Three students attempt to define what a circle is.

Can you match the teacher's comments to the definitions?
Definition of a circle
Duru's definition: The set of all points in a plane
that are the same distance away from some given
point, which we call the center.
Oliver's definition: The set of all points in 3D
space that are the same distance from a center
point.
Carlos's definition: A perfectly round shape.
Teacher's
comments
Stupendous!
Well done.
Your definition
needs to be
much more
precise.
You seem to be
confusing a circle
with a sphere.
