However, unsurprisingly this is not a brilliant solution!
Firstly, the resulting circle has large gaps where the slope
approaches the vertical
Secondly, the calculations are not very efficient
The square (multiply) operations
The square root operation – try really hard to avoid these!
We need a more efficient, more accurate solution
