Is what really true? That circles have an infinite number of points? That's true and proved. The equation for a circle is: x2 + y2 = r2, where x and y are points on a graph, and r is the radius, and the center of the circle is at (0,0). There are an infinite number of solutions to that equation, each solution being a point on the circle.
