Find the equation of the circle with centre (1, 1) and radius

Question:

Find the equation of the circle with centre $(1,1)$ and radius $\sqrt{2}$

Solution:

The equation of a circle with centre (hk) and radius is given as

$(x-h)^{2}+(y-k)^{2}=r^{2}$

It is given that centre $(h, k)=(1,1)$ and radius $(r)=\sqrt{2}$.

Therefore, the equation of the circle is

$(x-1)^{2}+(y-1)^{2}=(\sqrt{2})^{2}$

$x^{2}-2 x+1+v^{2}-2 y+1=2$

$x^{2}+y^{2}-2 x-2 y=0$
