Remember, the radius of a circle is the distance between the center and a point on the circle.

The center of the circle is  (2, 3)

The point  (-2, 0)  is on the circle.

Let's use the distance formula to find the radius.

radius  =  distance between  (2, 3)  and  (-2, 0)

radius  =  $$\sqrt{(0-3)^2+(-2-2)^2}$$

radius  =  $$\sqrt{(-3)^2+(-4)^2}$$

radius  =  $$\sqrt{9+16}$$

radius  =  $$\sqrt{25}$$
