By first applying coordinate transformations a reduced algebra solution is possible. Given Circle (x1,y1,R) and Circle (x2,y2,P) find the two intersection points of the circles. Define d=distance(C1,C2). There are multiple conditions for Zero and One intersection points. Here we assume two points thus d<P+R, d+P>R, and d-P>-R.

Find the intersection of two circles. This online calculator finds the intersection points of two circles given the center point and radius of each circle. It also plots them on the graph. To use the calculator, enter the x and y coordinates of a center and radius of each circle. A bit of theory can be found below the calculator.

Here are the intermediate steps for computing the intersection points: 1. Calculating the distance dbetween circle centers 2. Checking cases 3. Calculating the length of a and b 4. Calculation of h 5. Calculating the coordinates of P5 6. Calculation of vectors P5P3→ and P5P4→ 7. calculating the coordinates of P3 and P4
Let's start by calculating the d, the distance between the centers. Byapplying the Pythagorean theoremwe can write: (1)d=(x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2
According to the values of d, we now have five cases: 1. if d>r1+r2the circles are too far apart and do not intersect; 2. if d<|r1−r2|one circle is inside the other and do not intersect; 3. if d=0 and r1=r2the circles are merged and there are an infinite number of points of intersection; 4. if d=r1+r2there is a single intersection point; 5. if d
To calculte the distance a let's start by writing h as a function of a and b . In the right triangles P1P5P3the Pythagorean theoremgives: (2)r12=h2+a2 We can apply the theorem in the right triangle P2P5P3: (3)r22=h2+b2 By substituting (3) to (2)we get the following equation: (4)r12−r22=a2−b2 Since d=a+b, we can write the folowing system of two equa...
Once a and b are know, it becomes easy to calculate the length hby apoplying the Pythagorean theoremin the right triangles P1P5P3 (10)r12=h2+a2 (11)h=r12−a2
The next step is to calculate the coordinates of P5. Since the vectors P1P5→ and P1P2→are colinear,we can write: (12)P1P5→=ad×P1P2→ We can deduce the coordinates of P5: (13)x5=x1+ad×(x2−x1)y5=y1+ad×(y2−y1)
The second to last step is the calculation of vectors P5P3→ and P5P4→ . Let's consider thevector P1P2→given by the following relation: (14)P1P2→=(x2−x1y2−y1) By multiplying this vector by a rotation matrix around the z-axis,we can calculate the perpendicular vectors: Clockwise (15)P1P2→⊥↻=(01−10)×(x2−x1y2−y1)=(y2−y1x1−x2) Counterclockwise (16)P1P2→...
Once the vectors P5P3→ and P5P4→are known, the coordinates of P3 and P4 can be deduced bytranslating P3from these vectors. We finally get: (19)P3=(x5−h(y2−y1)dy5+h(x2−x1)d) and (20)P4=(x5+h(y2−y1)dy5−h(x2−x1)d) We can even rewrite this answer: (21)x=x5±h(y2−y1)dy=y5±h(x2−x1)d
Sep 12, 2023 · Two circles intersect at the points with coordinates and . Find the equation of the common chord of the two circles. The points of intersection are known. Use the method of finding the equation of a straight line from two known points. First find the gradient, Apply to get the equation of the common chord. The equation of the common chord is
Considering this, we can find the coordinates of the intersection points of two circles, by following the steps below: 1. Find the equation of the common chord. This equation is a linear equation found by subtracting the equations of the circles so that we eliminate the quadratic terms. 2. Solve the equation from step 1 for one of the variables.

In this example I can do the calculation using the equilateral triangles that are described by the intersection and centres of the 2 circles, however, I need a more general formula that will provide the coordinates of the 2 intersection points C and D, on circles that are not placed so conveniently, or of the same radius.
