Circumcenter Calculator

Find the circumcenter of a triangle from three vertices: the point equidistant from all three, which is the center of the circle passing through them.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the circumcenter?

The point equidistant from all three vertices of a triangle. It is the intersection of the three perpendicular bisectors of the sides.

Can the circumcenter be outside the triangle?

Yes, for an obtuse triangle. For an acute triangle the circumcenter is inside, and for a right triangle it lies exactly at the midpoint of the hypotenuse.

Circumcenter or incenter?

Circumcenter is equidistant from the three vertices and lies on the perpendicular bisectors. Incenter is equidistant from the three sides and lies on the angle bisectors.
