Answer:

  2√13

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between the center of the circle and a point on the circle is the radius. That distance is given by the distance formula:

  d = √((x2 -x1)² +(y2 -y1)²)

  d = √((-5 -1)² +(6 -2)²) = √(36 +16) = √52

  d = 2√13

The radius of the circle is 2√13.
