A set of points is cospherical if they are equidistant from some point. In two dimensions, this is the same thing as being concyclic.
Equations
- EuclideanGeometry.Cospherical ps = ∃ (center : P) (radius : ℝ), ∀ p ∈ ps, dist p center = radius

The definition of Cospherical
.
A set of points is cospherical if and only if they lie in some sphere.
The set of points in a sphere is cospherical.
A subset of a cospherical set is cospherical.
The empty set is cospherical.
A single point is cospherical.
Two points are cospherical.
A set of points is concyclic if it is cospherical and coplanar. (Most results are stated
directly in terms of Cospherical
instead of using Concyclic
.)

Suppose that p₁
and p₂
lie in spheres s₁
and s₂
. Then the vector between the centers
of those spheres is orthogonal to that between p₁
and p₂
; this is a version of
inner_vsub_vsub_of_dist_eq_of_dist_eq
for bundled spheres. (In two dimensions, this says that
the diagonals of a kite are orthogonal.)
Two spheres intersect in at most two points in a two-dimensional subspace containing their
centers; this is a version of eq_of_dist_eq_of_dist_eq_of_mem_of_finrank_eq_two
for bundled
spheres.
Two spheres intersect in at most two points in two-dimensional space; this is a version of
eq_of_dist_eq_of_dist_eq_of_finrank_eq_two
for bundled spheres.
Given a point on a sphere and a point not outside it, the inner product between the difference of those points and the radius vector is positive unless the points are equal.
Given a point on a sphere and a point not outside it, the inner product between the difference of those points and the radius vector is nonnegative.
Given a point on a sphere and a point inside it, the inner product between the difference of those points and the radius vector is positive.
Given three collinear points, two on a sphere and one not outside it, the one not outside it is weakly between the other two points.
Given three collinear points, two on a sphere and one inside it, the one inside it is strictly between the other two points.
