% Define the coordinates of the center of the circle
xc = 0;
yc = 0;
% Define the coordinates of the point to check
xp = 3;
yp = 4;
% Define the radius of the circle
radius = 5;
% Calculate the distance from the point to the center of the circle
distance = % implement the required equation here
% Determine if the point is inside, on, or outside the circle
if distance < radius
disp('The point is inside the circle.');
elseif distance == radius
disp('The point is on the circle.');
else
disp('The point is outside the circle.');
end
