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

   

   

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

   

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