::NO, Flash is definitely NOT the way to go. You can use and office suite (like [[OpenOffice]]) to draw circles, or [[Inkscape]] or basically most drawing programmes.

:::No, they want to draw a circle with a specific radius. You cannot duedo that in OpenOffice. I don't know about InkScape, but it probably won't since even Illustrator won't let you do it. I imagine that they want an electronic copy, too, rather than a hard copy.--[[User:Hello. I'm new here, but I'm sure I can help out.|Hello.

::::You can definitely do it in Illustrator. Set your units to inches, select the ellipse tool, click on the artboard and enter the diameter in Width and Height. — [[User:Bewildebeast|Matt Eason]] ^{([[User talk:Bewildebeast|Talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Bewildebeast|Contribs]])} 10:55, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
