The standard equation of a circle is expressed as

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

where

h is the x coordinate of the center of the circle

k is the y coordinate of the center of the circle

r is the radius of the circle

From the information given,

h = 2

k = 1

r = 3

Thus, the equation of the circle would be

(x - 2)^2 + (y - 1)^2 = 3^2

(x - 2)^2 + (y - 1)^2 = 9
