Check the picture below, so, that'd be the square inscribed in the circle.
so... hmm the diagonals for the square are the diameter of the circle, and keep in mind that the radius of a circle is half the diameter, so let's find the diameter.

that means the radius r = 5.
now, what's the center? well, the Midpoint of the diagonals, is really the center of the circle, let's check,
so, now we know the center coordinates and the radius, let's plug them in,
