Since ellipse and hyperbola intersect orthogonally, they are confocal Hence, a = 2 (equating foci)
Let the point of intersection in the first quadrant be  P(x1,y1).
P lies on the curves. Therefore, 4x12+9y12=36  and  4x12+9y12=4
Adding these two results, we get
8(x12+y12)=40 or x12+y12=5  or  r=5
Hence, the equation of the circle is  x2+y2=5
