Intersection points of a Triangle and a Circle How can I find all intersection points of the following circle and triangle?
Triangle
$$A:=\begin{pmatrix}22\\-1.5\\1 \end{pmatrix} B:=\begin{pmatrix}27\\-2.25\\4 \end{pmatrix} C:=\begin{pmatrix}25.2\\-2\\4.7 \end{pmatrix}$$
Circle
$$\frac{9}{16}=(x-25)^2 + (y+2)^2 + (z-3)^2$$
What I did so far was to determine the line equations of the triangle (a, b and c):
$a : \overrightarrow {OX} = \begin{pmatrix}27\\-2.25\\4 \end{pmatrix}+ \lambda_1*\begin{pmatrix}-1.8\\0.25\\0.7 \end{pmatrix} $
$b : \overrightarrow {OX} = \begin{pmatrix}22\\-1.5\\1 \end{pmatrix}+ \lambda_2*\begin{pmatrix}3.2\\-0.5\\3.7 \end{pmatrix} $
$c : \overrightarrow {OX} = \begin{pmatrix}22\\-1.5\\1 \end{pmatrix}+ \lambda_3*\begin{pmatrix}5\\-0.75\\3 \end{pmatrix} $
But I am not sure what I have to do next...

The side $AB$ of the triangle has equation $P(t) = (1-t)A + tB$ for $0 \le t \le 1$.  The $0 \le t \le 1$ part is important. If $t$ lies outside $[0,1]$, the point $P(t)$ will lie on the infinite line through $A$ and $B$, but not on the edge $AB$ of the triangle. Substitute $(1-t)A + tB$ into the circle equation, as others have suggested. This will give you a quadratic equation in $t$ that you can solve using the well-known formula.
But, a solution $t$ will give you a circle/triangle intersection point only if it lies in the range $0 \le t \le 1$. Solutions outside this interval can be ignored.
Do the same thing with sides $BC$ and $AC$.
