Question
The circumcentre of a triangle is the point which is ______.
Options
at equal distance from the three sides of the triangle.
at equal distance from the three vertices of the triangle.
the point of intersection of the three medians.
the point of intersection of the three altitudes of the triangle.
Solution
The circumcentre of a triangle is the point which is at equal distance from the three vertices of the triangle.
Explanation:
We know that,
The circumcenter of a triangle is equidistant from all three of its vertices.
This means that the distance from the circumcenter to each vertex is equal.
