CGAL::squared_radius

FT squared_radius ( Point_2<Kernel> p, Point_2<Kernel> q, Point_2<Kernel> r)
compute the squared radius of the circle passing through the points p, q, and r.
Precondition: p, q, and r are not collinear.

FT squared_radius ( Point_2<Kernel> p, Point_2<Kernel> q)
compute the squared radius of the smallest circle passing through p, and q, i.e. one fourth of the squared distance between p and q.

FT squared_radius ( Point_3<Kernel> p, Point_3<Kernel> q, Point_3<Kernel> r, Point_3<Kernel> s)
compute the squared radius of the sphere passing through the points p, q, r and s.
Precondition: p, q, r and s are not coplanar.

FT squared_radius ( Point_3<Kernel> p, Point_3<Kernel> q, Point_3<Kernel> r)
compute the squared radius of the sphere passing through the points p, q, and r and whose center is in the same plane as those three points.

FT squared_radius ( Point_3<Kernel> p, Point_3<Kernel> q)
compute the squared radius of the smallest circle passing through p, and q, i.e. one fourth of the squared distance between p and q.
