Question 936054
given the endpoints p1=(x1,y1,z1) and p2=(x2,y2,z2) of a diameter ...
find the center of the sphere, like so:
h = (x1-x2)/2
j = (y1-y2)/2
k = (z1-z2)/2
---
now write the general equation for a sphere:
(x - h)^2 + (y - j)^2 + (z - k)^2 = r^2
where:
x,y,z are the coordinates of a point on the surface of the sphere
h,j,k are the coordinates of the center of the sphere
r is the radius of the sphere
