The general equation of a circle is:
[tex](x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2[/tex]where (h,k) is the center and r is the radius of the circle.
Comparing the given equation of a circle and the above general equation we get:
[tex]r^2=12[/tex]Then, the radius of this circle is:
[tex]r=\sqrt[]{12}[/tex]In conclusion, the sentence is false.
