PRINCIPIA · THEOREM
Three non-collinear points determine a unique circle
Depends on: Three perpendicular bisectors meet (circumcenter), Perpendicular bisector ⇔ equidistant from endpoints.
Statement
Let , , be three non-collinear points in the plane. Then exactly one circle passes through all three; its centre is the circumcenter of (the intersection of the three perpendicular bisectors), and its radius is
This is the circumscribed circle of .
