Circumradius

This article is a stub. Help us out by expanding it.

The circumradius or any polygon is the radius of the cirumscribed circle of that polygon, if such a circle exists. For a triangle, it is the measure of the radius of the circle that circumscribes the triangle. Since every triangle is cyclic, every triangle has a circumscribed circle, or a circumcircle.

Formula for a Triangle

Let $a, b$ and $c$ denote the triangle's three sides, and let $A$ denote the area of the triangle. Then, the measure of the of the circumradius of the triangle is simply $\frac{abc}{4A}$
