Question 1

[Maximum number: 3]

Two circles, C1C_{1} and C2C_{2}, are drawn on a centimetre grid, with a scale of 1 cm for 1 unit on each axis.

The centre of circle C1C_{1} is at the point with coordinates (-1,3) and the radius of C1C_{1} is 13 cm.

The centre of circle C2C_{2} is at the point with coordinates (7,18) and the radius of C2C_{2} is 6 cm.

Work out the distance between the centre of C1C_{1} and the centre of C2C_{2}
