 circumcircle
 find the circumcircle of a given triangle

 Calling Sequence circumcircle(cc, T, cn)

Parameters

 cc - the name of the circumcircle T - triangle 'centername' = cn - (optional) where cn is a name of the center of circumcircle

Description

 • The circumcircle cc of a triangle T is a circle circumscribed about the triangle.
 • If the optional argument is given and is of the form 'centername' = cn where cn is name, cn will be the name of the center of cc.
 • For a detailed description of the circumcircle cc, use the routine detail (i.e., detail(cc);)
 • Note that the routine only works if the vertices of the triangle are known.
 • The command with(geometry,circumcircle) allows the use of the abbreviated form of this command.
