The circumscribed circle passes through all three vertices of a triangle.

The math behind it

The circumradius is R = abc ÷ (4·Area), where the area comes from Heron's formula.

Worked Example

Sides 3, 4, 5 → area 6, circumradius 2.5 (half the hypotenuse for a right triangle).

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the centre?

At the circumcentre, where the perpendicular bisectors of the sides meet.
