We start with a triangle ABC. |
![]() |
1. Find the bisector of one of the triangle sides. Any one will do. See Constructing the Perpendicular Bisector of a Line Segment for detailed instructions. |
![]() |
2. Repeat for the another side. Any one will do. | ![]() |
3. Mark the point where these two perpendiculars intersect as point O. | ![]() |
(Optional step) Repeat for the third side. This will convince you that the three bisectors do, in fact, intersect at a single point. But two are enough to find that point. | |
Done The point O is the circumcenter of the triangle ABC. Note: This point may be outside the triangle. This is normal. |
