Find the equation of a circle with centre (a, a) and radius √2.

Answer»

The general form of the equation of a circle is:

(x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2 …..(1)

Where, r is the radius of the circle and (h, k) is the centre of the circle.

Here, r = √2, h = a and k = a

Equation (1)⇒

(x – a)2 + (y – a)2 = (√2)2

or (x – a)2 + (y – a)2 = 2

or x2 + y2 – 2ax – 2ay + (2a2 – 2) = 0

Which is the required equation.
