Radical Center of 4 circles

250 Views Asked by At

Radical center is described as the center of the unique circle that intersects three given circles at right angles. (Wikipedia Link ). This paper gives a good example to the method. What I wonder is how to implement this method to 4 circles. Say we have 4 circles with known origin points $\{(x1,y1) ,(x2,y2),(x3,y3),(x4,y4)\}$ and radius $(r1, r2, r3, r4).$ In this case how can I calculate the radical center of these 4 circles?

PS: I couldn't add these tags because of the rep issue. Could the admin add them please : radical-center, radical-lines, power-center
