Okay, so I'm really stuck on this problem, I have no idea how to set it up or anything. can anyone help?

1.) A seisismologist is tring to locate the epicenter of an earthquake. She has seismograph readings from towns Abott, Baker, and Colt. Listed below.

Town - distance to epicenter

Abott - 17 miles
Baker- 10 miles
Colt- 5 mile

Part A - For each seismograph reading, graph a circle representing all possible locations for the epicenter. ( There is a graph that has points on it already, EX : C (colt) is at (0,1).

So im thinking I have to do something with the point C (0,1) and the fact that it was 5 miles from the epicenter, but no idea how to set it up. please help!!!!!!
