FIGURE 3.7: Two circles in the rational plane
coordinate functions use real numbers will allow us to fill that gap. Specifically, we will
prove that if one circle contains a point that is inside a second circle and another point
that is outside the second circle, then the two circles must intersect. Even using the
powerful axioms in this chapter the proof is not easy, however, and we will not attempt
that particular proof until Chapter 8.
