Definition of Circumcircle of a Triangle
The circumcircle of a triangle is a circle that passes through all three vertices of the triangle.
Its centre (the circumcentre) can lie inside or outside the triangle, depending on whether the triangle is acute or obtuse.
The centre of the circumcircle of a triangle is the point where all three perpendicular bisectors of the triangle (the lines that are perpendicular to the midpoints of each side of the triangle) intersect each other.
