Solution
Given:
ABCD is a square with side a units.
Let AB and AD represent the x-axis and the y-axis, respectively.
Thus, the coordinates of B and D are (a, 0) and (0, a), respectively.
The end points of the diameter of the circle circumscribing the square are B and D.
Thus, equation of the circle circumscribing the square is
