$$\mathrm{triangle}\:\mathrm{with}\:\mathrm{side}\:\mathrm{lengths}\:{a},\:{b},\:{c} \\ $$$$\mathrm{circumcircle}\:{R}=\frac{{abc}}{\delta} \\ $$$$\delta=\sqrt{\left({a}+{b}+{c}\right)\left(−{a}+{b}+{c}\right)\left({a}−{b}+{c}\right)\left({a}+{b}−{c}\right)} \\ $$

$${a}+{b}+{c}=\mathrm{2}{s} \\ $$$$\therefore\delta=\sqrt{\mathrm{2}{s}.\left(\mathrm{2}{s}−\mathrm{2}{a}\right)\left(\mathrm{2}{s}−\mathrm{2}{b}\right)\left(\mathrm{2}{s}−\mathrm{2}{c}\right)} \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\:=\mathrm{4}\sqrt{{s}\left({s}−{a}\right)\left({s}−{b}\right)\left({s}−{c}\right)} \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:=\mathrm{4}\bigtriangleup \\ $$

$$\sqrt{\mathrm{10}^{\mathrm{2}} −\left(\frac{\mathrm{7}}{\mathrm{2}}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} }−{R}=\sqrt{{R}^{\mathrm{2}} −\left(\frac{\mathrm{7}}{\mathrm{2}}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} } \\ $$$$\mathrm{10}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{2}{R}\sqrt{\mathrm{10}^{\mathrm{2}} −\left(\frac{\mathrm{7}}{\mathrm{2}}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} }=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{R}=\frac{\mathrm{10}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\:\sqrt{\left(\mathrm{2}×\mathrm{10}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{7}^{\mathrm{2}} }}=\frac{\mathrm{100}}{\:\sqrt{\mathrm{27}×\mathrm{13}}}=\frac{\mathrm{100}\sqrt{\mathrm{39}}}{\mathrm{117}}\approx\mathrm{5}.\mathrm{338} \\ $$
