Question: Given these points on the XY plane: (3, 4), (5, -1) (-3,-5), (-5, 3), (-1,5), find a radius of a circle centered at the origin

Given these points on the XY plane: (3, 4), (5, -1) (-3,-5), (-5, 3), (-1,5), find a radius of a circle centered at the origin which minimizes the sum of squared distances between each point and the circle. The distance between a point and the circle is defined as the minimal distance between the point and any point on the circle.
