Solution
Let the equation of the required circle be
\[x^2 + y^2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0\]
The centre of the circle x2 + y2 − 6x + 12y + 15 = 0 is (3, −6).
Area of the required circle = \[2\pi r^2\]
Here, r = radius of the given circle
Now, r = \[\sqrt{9 + 36 - 15} = \sqrt{30}\]
∴ Area of the required circle = \[2\pi\left( 30 \right) = 60\pi\]
Let R be the radius of the required circle.
∴\[60\pi = \pi R^2 \Rightarrow R^2 = 60\]
Thus, the equation of the required circle is
\[\left( x - 3 \right)^2 + \left( y + 6 \right)^2 = 60\]
\[x^2 + y^2 - 6x + 12y = 15\]
