Question

What are the coordinates of the circumcenter of this triangle?

Enter your answer in the boxes.

Answer 1

All you have to do is find the middle of both side and then find where they meet BC is 6 units long so find the middle which is 3 units and AB is 4 units long so find its middle which is 2 and connect you get points (4,-1)

Answer 2

Answer: The coordinates of the circumcenter of this triangle is (4,-1).

Step-by-step explanation:

If we draw a circumcircle of a triangle, then the center of the circumcircle is called circumcenter of a triangle.

Draw perpendiculars of bisectors of the three sides of the triangle, the point at which they are intersects each other is called circumcenter.

The circumcenter of a right angle triangle is the midpoint of the hypotenuse.

From the given figure it is noticed that the angle B is 90 degree, so the side AC is the hypotenuse. The coordinates of A is (1,1) and the coordinates of C is (7,-3).

Midpoint=
`((x_1+x_2)/(2), (y_1+y_2)/(2) )`

Midpoint of AC,

`\text{Midpoint of AC}=((1+7)/(2), (1-3)/(2) )`

`\text{Midpoint of AC}=((8)/(2), (-2)/(2) )`

`\text{Midpoint of AC}=(4, -1)`

Therefore, the coordinates of the circumcenter of this triangle is (4,-1).
