Three points that do not lie on one line fix exactly one circle, the circumcircle of the triangle they form. Its centre (h, k) is where the perpendicular bisectors of two chords meet, which a determinant formula gives directly, and the radius is the distance from the centre to any of the points. Coordinates stay exact fractions, so a centre at (1, 4/3) is shown as 4/3, not 1.3333.

The default points (−3, 4), (4, 5) and (1, −4) give centre (1, 1) and radius 5: (x − 1)² + (y − 1)² = 25, or x² + y² − 2x − 2y − 23 = 0. The same construction finds the centre of a round table, pipe or arch from three marks on its edge, and the radius of a road curve from three survey points.

If the determinant is zero the points are collinear and no circle exists. Coordinates carry no unit; the radius and area are in the coordinates' unit and its square.

## よくある質問

### How do you find the equation of a circle through three points?

Substitute each point into the general form x² + y² + Dx + Ey + F = 0 and solve the three linear equations for D, E and F. For (−3, 4), (4, 5) and (1, −4) this gives D = −2, E = −2 and F = −23. Completing the square turns that into (x − 1)² + (y − 1)² = 25: centre (1, 1), radius 5.

### How do you find the centre of a circle from three points on it?

Construct the perpendicular bisectors of two chords, such as P₁P₂ and P₂P₃; they cross at the centre, because every point on a perpendicular bisector is equally far from both ends of its chord. For a right triangle the centre is the midpoint of the hypotenuse: (0, 0), (4, 0) and (0, 3) give centre (2, 1.5) and radius 2.5.

### What is the general form of the equation of a circle?

x² + y² + Dx + Ey + F = 0. The centre is (−D/2, −E/2) and the radius is √(D²/4 + E²/4 − F). For x² + y² − 2x − 2y − 23 = 0 the centre is (1, 1) and the radius √(1 + 1 + 23) = 5. If D²/4 + E²/4 − F is zero the equation describes a single point, and if it is negative, no real circle.

### Why is there no circle through three points on a straight line?

A circle meets a straight line at most twice, so it cannot pass through three collinear points. In the formula, x₁(y₂ − y₃) + x₂(y₃ − y₁) + x₃(y₁ − y₂), which is twice the triangle's signed area, becomes zero and the centre would need a division by zero. Points that are nearly collinear give a very large radius.

### 「3点を通る円：中心・半径・方程式」の精度はどのくらいですか？

精度は入力値と計算方法の前提に依存します。十進演算には有効数字50桁を使いますが、推定、数値計算手法、元データの精度はそれより低い場合があります。表示の丸め処理でこれらの制約がなくなるわけではありません。 独立した出典の解答と照合した計算例：4。 例えば、「(−3, 4), (4, 5), (1, −4)」はPython 3.8 fractions with the determinant formula; each point is 5 from (1, 1): 4² + 3², 3² + 4², 0² + 5²と照合しています。
