How do you find the center of the circle that is circumscribed about the triangle with vertices (0,-2), (7,-3) and (8,-2)?
The center is at
The point where the perpendicular bisector of the triangle's three sides intersects is where the center is located.

To find the center of the circle circumscribed about a triangle, you need to find the intersection point of the perpendicular bisectors of any two sides of the triangle.
- Find the midpoints of any two sides of the triangle.
- Find the slopes of these two sides.
- Find the negative reciprocal of these slopes to get the slopes of the perpendicular bisectors.
- Use the midpoint and the slope of each side to write the equations of the perpendicular bisectors.
- Solve these equations simultaneously to find the point of intersection, which is the center of the circumscribed circle.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
