The equation of a circle centered at the origin (0, 0) and with a radius r is:


x^2+y^2=r^2

We are given the equation of a circle:


x^2+y^2=5

Comparing the above equation, we have that:


\begin{gathered} r^2=5 \\ \\ \text{ Therefore:} \\ \\ r=√(5) \end{gathered}

Thus:


\text{ The center of the circle is \lparen0, 0\rparen and its radius is }√(5)
