For three points, (x1,y1), (x2,y2) & (x3,y3), you can set up 3 distance equations with variables x, y & z: z^2 = (x-x1)^2 + (y-y1)^2 z^2 = (x-x2)^2 + (y-y2)^2 z^2 = (x-x3)^2 + (y-y3)^2 3 equations and 3 variables....Solve away! z is your distance. x & y are the coordinates of the equidistant point.

How do you find the equal distance from each of your three points?
It is the circumcentre of the triangle formed by the three points. Draw the perpendicular bisectors of two of the lines joining the three points. They will meet at the point that is equidistant from the three points.
The point equidistant from the three vertices is called?
circumcenter
What is equidistant from the three sides of the triangle?
It is the point known as the incentre.
Is a sphere also a circle?
No, a sphere and a circle are different geometric shapes. A sphere is a three-dimensional object with all points equidistant from the center, while a circle is a two-dimensional shape with all points equidistant from the center. In other words, a circle is a flat, circular shape, while a sphere is a three-dimensional, round object.
What is a round figure that surfaces at all points of equidistant from the center?
It depends on how many dimensions you are asking about. If you are talking about a 2-dimensional figure then it would be a circle. The definition of a circle is the collection of points that are equidistant from the center. If you are talking about a 3-dimensional figure, then it would be a sphere. The definition of a sphere is the collection of points in three dimensions that are equidistant from the center.
