Circum Centre Of Triangle
The circumcenter of a triangle is the point of intersection of the perpendicular bisectors of its sides. Here are some important points about the circumcenter of a triangle:
- The circumcenter is the center of the circumcircle, which is the circle passing through all three vertices of the triangle.
- The circumcenter is equidistant from the three vertices of the triangle.
- The circumcenter is not necessarily inside the triangle. It can be outside the triangle for an obtuse triangle and on the triangle for a right triangle.
- The circumcenter is located at the intersection point of the perpendicular bisectors of any two sides of the triangle.
- The circumcenter of an equilateral triangle coincides with its centroid, incenter, and orthocenter.
- The circumcenter of a right triangle is located at the midpoint of the hypotenuse.
- The circumcenter of an isosceles triangle lies on the line of symmetry.
- The circumcenter of a triangle can be used to find the radius of the circumcircle using the formula R = a/2sinA = b/2sinB = c/2sinC, where a, b, and c are the lengths of the sides of the triangle, and A, B, and C are the angles opposite those sides.
- The circumcenter is a point of concurrency of the triangle.
- The circumcenter of a triangle is unique, except in the case of an isosceles triangle where the circumcenter lies on the line of symmetry.
