I have a program that takes as input an array of lat/long points. I need to perform a check on that array to ensure that all of the points are within a certain radius. So, for example, the maximum radius I will allow is 100 miles. Given an array of lat/long (coming from a MySQL database, could be 10 points could be 10000) I need to figure out if they will all fit in a circle with radius of 100 miles.
Kinda stumped on how to approach this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Find the smallest circle containing all points, and compare its radius to 100.
