I have a set of x, y co-ordinates that are actually taken from hand drawings of a circle, square or a triangle. Using the set of points, I need to mathematically find if the points approximately fit a square, circle or a triangle. What is the ideal way to implement this case?

2Are you looking for a computational solution? This generally belongs to the field of machine learning/pattern recognition in computer science, and is often performed as OCR (Optical Character Recognition). The most common approach is to train your algorithm on many samples of each of the handwritten characters, find a common mathematical pattern and use that for prediction. – 2012-10-07
