~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Although it is possible to find the radius of the circle via the side length of the equilateral inscribed triangle,
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE to identify uniquely the position of the center based on given data.
The center position will be at the distance of the radius from the given point - that is all what we know about the center.
