Dear arzoo unvi

given tangent and diameter all three lines are paralllel to each other

Distance between diameter and any tangent will be equal to radius

that is equal to 2√2

let center is (h,k)

center lie on x-y=0 so h=k

so equation of circle is (x-h)2 +(y-h)2 =8

a fimily of circle is obtain with variable centter
