How to construct a circle passing through three given points (not on one line)?
|
| 1. |
| Start with the given points.
|
|
| 2. |
| Choose two points and draw the connecting line in between. Repeat this for two other points.
|
|
| 3. |
| Construct the perpendicular bisectors of lines 2. These lines must intersect.
|
|
| 4. |
| Construct a circle centered at the intersection of lines 3, passing through one of the given points.
|
|
| 5. |
| Circle 4 is the circle to be constructed, it passes through the three given points. The three points (if not on one line) determine the circle completely.
