The simplest way of calculating the radius may be storing one of the points (as a complex number) at the beginning (insert STO "P" between line 01 and 02), and add a final ENTER RCL–"P" ABS at the end. This will return the center coordinates in Y and the radius in X: 1 ENTER 4 COMPLEX -1 ENTER 2 COMPLEX 4 ENTER -3 COMPLEX XEQ "CENTER" => 2,5 i0,5 3,80788655... Dieter |
