Hello sir~

Three points determine a unique circle.
= There is a unique circle that passes through the three points
(Of course, they are not on the same line.)

----------------------------------------------------
Since there is circumscribed circle, Existence is trivial.

You are *assuming* existence when you say "there is a circumscribed
circle". You have to prove that, and the usual way to prove it
determines the center in a unique way. Look at how the circumscribed
circle for a triangle is constructed.

The perpendicular bisectors of the sides of a triangle intersect in a point
that is equidistant from the vertices of the triangle.

But it is not Uniquess.
