Find the radius of the circle centered at point A (-10; -19), tangent to the abscissa axis.

The distance between some point and the abscissa axis is equal to the modulus of its ordinate.

Since the circle touches the abscissa axis and has a center at point A, its radius is equal to the distance from point A to the abscissa axis.

Consequently, the radius of this circle | – 19 | = 19.

Answer: the radius of the circle is 19.
