\end{figure} Diagram not drawn to scale The circle shown in Figure 4 has centre \(P ( 5,6 )\) and passes through the point \(A ( 12,7 )\). Find
  1. the exact radius of the circle,
  2. an equation of the circle,
  3. an equation of the tangent to the circle at the point \(A\). The circle also passes through the points \(B ( 0,1 )\) and \(C ( 4,13 )\).
  4. Use the cosine rule on triangle \(A B C\) to find the size of the angle \(B C A\), giving your answer in degrees to 3 significant figures.
