Which explains how to find the radius of a circle whose equation is in the form x2 + y2 = z?

A circle centered at the origin has equation x² + y² = r², where r is its radius. Comparing this with x² + y² = z shows that r² = z, so the radius is √z. Therefore, the correct choice is “The radius is the square root of the constant term, z.”
