In this lesson, we will learn how to find the equation of a circle passing through three noncollinear points that form a right triangle.

Students will be able to

understand the geometric construction for drawing a circle through three points using perpendicular bisectors,
use three points on the circumference of a circle that form a right triangle to find
- the coordinates of the center of the circle,
- the radius of the circle,
- the equation of the circle.
