MP.DLL can solve math problems as well as Excel.

Given 3 points P1x,P2x,P3x, this code will find the radius R, without using angles. You can translate this to Excel, but I don't know if it has a math library. This code works on similar triangles. Email me if you need more help.

v1x = vsb(p2x, p1x)

v2x = vsb(p3x, p2x)

v3x = vsb(p3x, p1x)

v1x = vnr(v1x)

l2 = lng(v2x)

l3 = lng(v3x)

vnx = vlh(v1x)

s1 = dot(v2x, vnx)

r = l2*l3/(2*s1)
