The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the set of all points on the circumference of a circle is finite or infinite, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Circle**: A circle is defined as the set of all points that are at a fixed distance (radius) from a central point (the center of the circle). 2. **Defining the Set**: Let’s denote the set of all points on the circumference of a circle with radius \( r \) and center at point \( O \) as \( S \). Thus, \( S = \{ P \mid \text{distance}(P, O) = r \} \). 3. **Analyzing the Points**: The circumference of a circle is a continuous curve. This means that between any two points on the circumference, there are infinitely many other points. For instance, between any two points \( A \) and \( B \) on the circle, you can always find another point \( C \) such that \( A \), \( C \), and \( B \) are all distinct points on the circumference. 4. **Conclusion**: Since there are infinitely many points between any two points on the circumference, we conclude that the set \( S \) is not countable. Therefore, the set of all points on the circumference of a circle is an **infinite set**. ### Final Answer: The set of all points on the circumference of a circle is an infinite set. ---
