THREE POINTS
If three points are on a straight line, we cannot draw a circle passing through these three points
If three points are not on a straight line, we can draw a circle passing through these points by taking the point of intersection of the perpendicular bisectors of the line joining the three points
17. CIRCUMCIRCLE AND CIRCUMCENTRE
The centre which passes through the three vertices of a triangle is called the circumcircle.
The centre of the circumcircleis called circumcentre.
