The equation of a circle whose center is 0 and who radius is 5 is x^2 + y^2 = 25. This is the Pythagorean formula for a right triangle whose hypotenuse is 5. A known right triangle is a 3-4-5 right triangle. 3 could be the x distance from the center and 4 could be the y distance from the center, resulting in the coordinate (3,4).
