Sketching the circle for the equation: $\sqrt{(x -1)^2 + (y-1)^2} = \sqrt{2}$

Question

How should I sketch the circle for the equation mentioned in the title? If I calculate the square root of the number $2$ it continues to infinity.

$\sqrt2 = 1.414213562...$

@IttayWeiss Nevertheless, it is impossible to draw a circle with radius equal to square root of 2. — Samama Fahim, Apr 21 '13 at 08:19
It is impossible to draw any circle. But you can draw a very good approximation. — Ittay Weiss, Apr 21 '13 at 08:35
I'm afraid whether the question is sketching $(x-1)^2+(y-1)^2=\sqrt{2}$? — Inceptio, Apr 21 '13 at 08:40
@Inceptio The real notation of the equation was: Draw the circle for the problem $(x -1)^2 + (y -1)^2 = 2$ — Samama Fahim, Apr 21 '13 at 08:51

Yes, $\sqrt 2$ is construtible. The distance between (0,0) and (1,1) is $\sqrt 2$.

Draw a circle centering at (1,1) with (0,0) on it.
