Answer:
x^2 + y^2 = 64

Explanation:

Since, the equation of a circle that having the center (h,k) and radius r is,


(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2

Here the circle is centered at the origin,

That is, h = 0 , k = 0

Also, the radius of the circle is 8,

That is, r = 8 unit,

Thus, the equation of the given circle,


(x-0)^2 + (y-0)^2 = 8^2


x^2 + y^2 = 64
