Problem

A municipal park has a circular jogging track whose centre is at C(2,−1)C(2,-1) and whose radius is 55 m. (i) Write the equation of the jogging track. (ii) Three lamp posts are to be installed at L1(7,−1)L_1(7,-1), L2(2,4)L_2(2,4) and L3(−1,−5)L_3(-1,-5). For each location, determine whether the lamp post will stand inside the track, on the boundary, or outside the track. Show all numerical work leading to your conclusion.
