Answer

equation in standard form: $(x-1)^2+(y-2)^2=4$ center: $(1, 2)$ radius = $2$

Work Step by Step

The general equation for a circle with radius $r$ and centre $(h,k)$ is $(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$. The distance between the center $(1, 2)$ and the point on the circle $(1,0)$, since they belong to the same vertical line, is equal to $2-0=2$ units. Hence, the standard form of the circle's equation is: $(x-1)^2+(y-2)^2=2^2\\ (x-1)^2+(y-2)^2=4$
