How can I make Turtle recognize a circle?

enter image description hereI have a function that draws a few circles and I am going to place dots inside them. Depending if the dot falls within the circle, depends on wether the colour will change or not.

The biggest issue I am finding is how to check whether or not the dot is within the circle. Does anyone have any idea how to calculate coordinates within a circle or is their a method which can check coordinates against the circle?

(x1-x)² + (y1-y)² <= r²
