PRINCIPIA · THEOREM

Three perpendicular bisectors meet (circumcenter)

Dependencies: perpendicular bisector = locus of equidistant points (Perpendicular bisector ⇔ equidistant from endpoints) and its converse (Perpendicular bisector test).

Statement

Let ABC\triangle ABC be any triangle. Then the three Perpendicular bisector ⇔ equidistant from endpointss of the sides ABAB, BCBC, CACA meet at a single point PP, called the circumcenter of the triangle. This point also satisfies

PA=PB=PC.PA = PB = PC.

Circumcenter: the three perpendicular bisectors are concurrent at P, with PA = PB = PC = R (the circumradius)
