Given three noncollinear points, construct the circle that includes all three points.
1. Begin with points A, B, and C. |
|
2. Draw line segments AB and BC. |
|
3. Construct the perpendicular bisectors of line segments AB and BC. (Refer to the perpendicular bisector construction.) Let point P be the intersection of the perpendicular bisectors. |
|
4. Center the compass on point P, and draw the circle through points A, B, and C. |
