Then as they tried to make accurate squares on a That they had checked him out roughly by making crude measurements on a Now suppose that our bugs had each had their own Euclid who had told them what geometry “should” be like, and Mike The Feynman Lectures on Physics New Millennium Edition Your time and consideration are greatly appreciated.

If you have all 3 points collinear, you cannot create a local CS and you cannot find a circle from 3 collinear points either. You can then use their (x, y) values to find the center of the circle. After the conversion, the new coordinates for these 3 points should all have their z values = 0.0. ![]() Use this as the x-axis for the local CS.Ģ) Compute unit vector n2 from P1 and P3.ģ) Use n1 x n2 (where 'x' means the cross product) as the z-axis of the local CS.Ĥ) Use (n1 x n2) x n1 as the y-axis of the local CS.ĥ) Now, you have a local coordinate system, I hope that you know how to convert P1, P2 and P3 to this local CS. So, what you need to do isġ) Find a plane from the 3 points and create a 2D coordinate system on that plane.Ģ) Convert all 3 points to that 2D coordinate system.ģ) Find the circle center using the link above.Ĥ) Convert the circle center (in 2D) back to 3D.Įdit 1: I added the steps for creating a local coordinate system (CS) on a plane defined by 3 pointsġ) Compute unit vector n1 from P1 and P2. It also shows how to construct the circle center geometrically. A simple google search will show that this link provides a good explanation about how this is done in 2D. There are plenty of online articles for the 2D case. ![]()
