Area of the circumscribed circle is
Explanation:
Steps :
1. Find the lengths of the three sides using distance formula
- Find the area of the triangle using formula
#A_t = sqrt(s (s - a) (s - b) ( s - c))#
- Find the area of circum radius using formula
#R = (abc) / (4A_t)#
- Calculate area of the circumcircle using formula
#A_c = pi R^2#
Radius of the circumscribed circle is
