Thanks guys.

I tried using both the approaches and the results are very similar. When 
I stepped through the CGAL code in debug mode, retrieving the 
circumcenter via constructing a circle seemed more familiar, since it 
found the perpendicular bisectors of two sides and the intersection with 
the third side to find the center. On the other hand, circumcenter 
function went through calculating some equations and determinants, which 
didn't make much sense to me. Anyways, I just thought I'll update you on 
my findings and thanks again for your help.
