given the x,y coordinates of two points and the radius of a curve. has anyone got a formula for calculating the coordinates of the centre point please
One can simply use the general equation for a circle in Cartesian coordinates.bikermart said:given the x,y coordinates of two points and the radius of a curve. has anyone got a formula for calculating the coordinates of the centre point please
Indeed it does. But they are not difficult.bikermart said:thats great thanks but that give me two simultaneous equations to work out.
The centre of a circle is the point that is equidistant from all points on the circumference of the circle.
To find the centre of a circle using algebra, you need to know the coordinates of three points on the circle. You can then use the midpoint formula to find the average of the x and y coordinates, which will give you the coordinates of the centre.
Yes, you can find the centre of a circle if you only know the radius. To do this, you can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the distance from the centre to any point on the circle. By repeating this process with two different points, you can find the coordinates of the centre.
Yes, it is possible to find the centre of a circle if only given a graph or image. To do this, you can draw two perpendicular lines on the circle and find where they intersect. The point of intersection will be the centre of the circle.
Yes, you can use the distance formula to find the centre of a circle. By finding the distance from three different points on the circle to the unknown centre point, you can set up a system of equations to solve for the coordinates of the centre.
