Given that the center of the circle is the point
(0,0).
We know that the equation of the circle is given by
:
(x-a)^2 + (y-b)^2 = r^2 where (a,b) is the center and r
is the radius.
==> x^2 + y^2 =
r^2
Now we will determine the
radius.
Since the point (3,4) is on the circle, then the
distance between the point and the center is the
radius.
==> r = sqrt( 3^2 + 4^2) = sqrt25 =
5
Then, the radius of the circle is 5
units.
==> Them the equation of the circle
is:
x^2 + y^2 =
25
