Answer:

x² + y² = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle centred at the origin is

x² + y² = r² ( where r is the radius )

Using Pythagoras' identity in right triangle CRT

CR² = 1² + ( $\sqrt{2}$ )² = 1 + 2 = 3 ( take the square root of both sides )

CR = r = $\sqrt{3}$ , then

x² + y² = ( $\sqrt{3}$ )² , that is

x² + y² = 3
