[HP-Prime - Geometry App] What is wrong with this ? Message #1 Posted by Jean-Michel on 27 Oct 2013, 5:09 p.m. Hello I'm trying to draw a circle circumscribed to a triangle (manually, not by using the pre-programmed function) Here is the content of the SYMB view (on the real calc): GA:=point(77.4,32.1) GB:=point(-44.2,-204.8) GC:=point(338.2,-145.4) GE:=segment(GA,GB) GG:=segment(GB,GC) GH:=segment(GC,GA) GD:=triangle(GA,GB,GC) GI:=perpen_bissector(GE) GJ:=perpen_bissector(GG) GK:=perpen_bissector(GH) GL:=inter(GI,GJ) GN:=circle(GL,GA-GL) --> that line does not draw anything Not only it does not work in PLOT view, but also in SYMB view. I can draw any circle involving whatever vertices of the triangle, but not any involving the INTERsection point L, whatever it would be the center or a point of the curve. Help much appreciated Kind regards.
