The sides of a squares are x = 6, x = 9, y = 3 and y = 6. Find the equation of a circle drawn on the diagonal of the square as its diameter.

The sides of a squares are x = 6, x = 9, y = 3 and y = 6.

assuming A, B, C, D be the vertices of the square. we get, the coordinates as: A = (6, 3)

B = (9, 3)

C = (9, 6)

D = (6, 6)

the equation of the circle with diagonal AC is given by

    \[\begin{array}{*{35}{l}} (x\text{ }-\text{ }{{x}_{1}})\text{ }(x\text{ }-\text{ }{{x}_{2}})\text{ }+\text{ }(y\text{ }-\text{ }{{y}_{1}})\text{ }(y\text{ }-\text{ }{{y}_{2}})\text{ }=\text{ }0  \\ \left( x\text{ }-\text{ }6 \right)\text{ }\left( x\text{ }-\text{ }9 \right)\text{ }+\text{ }\left( 4\text{ }-\text{ }3 \right)\text{ }\left( 4\text{ }-\text{ }6 \right)\text{ }=\text{ }0  \\ \end{array}\]

    \[\begin{array}{*{35}{l}} {{x}^{2}}~-\text{ }6x\text{ }-\text{ }9x\text{ }+\text{ }54\text{ }+\text{ }{{y}^{2}}~-\text{ }3y\text{ }-\text{ }6y\text{ }+\text{ }18\text{ }=\text{ }0  \\ {{x}^{2}}~+\text{ }{{y}^{2}}~-\text{ }15x\text{ }-\text{ }9y\text{ }+\text{ }72\text{ }=\text{ }0  \\ \end{array}\]

We know that the equation of the circle with diagonal BD as diameter is given by

    \[\begin{array}{*{35}{l}} (x\text{ }-\text{ }{{x}_{1}})\text{ }(x\text{ }-\text{ }{{x}_{2}})\text{ }+\text{ }(y\text{ }-\text{ }{{y}_{1}})\text{ }(y\text{ }-\text{ }{{y}_{2}})\text{ }=\text{ }0  \\ \left( x\text{ }-\text{ }9 \right)\text{ }\left( x\text{ }-\text{ }6 \right)\text{ }+\text{ }\left( y\text{ }-\text{ }3 \right)\text{ }\left( y\text{ }-\text{ }6 \right)\text{ }=\text{ }0  \\ {{x}^{2}}~-\text{ }9x\text{ }-\text{ }6x\text{ }+\text{ }54\text{ }+\text{ }{{y}^{2}}~-\text{ }3y\text{ }-\text{ }6y\text{ }+\text{ }18\text{ }=\text{ }0  \\ {{x}^{2}}~+\text{ }{{y}^{2}}~-\text{ }15x\text{ }-\text{ }9y\text{ }+\text{ }72\text{ }=\text{ }0  \\ \end{array}\]

∴The equation of the circle is x2 + y2 – 15x – 9y + 72 = 0
