Understanding the Standard Form Equation of a Circle

What does the variable 'R' represent in the standard form equation of a circle?

• Area of the circle

• Radius of the circle

• Diameter of the circle

• Circumference of the circle

In the standard form equation (x-h)² + (y-k)² = r², what does h and k represent?

• Coordinates of the center of the circle

• Coordinates of a point on the circle
