Math Problem Statement
- Determine the coordinates of the circumcentre of the triangle.
Solution
To determine the coordinates of the circumcenter of a triangle, we need to follow a few steps:
Step 1: Review the basic properties
The circumcenter is the point of intersection of the perpendicular bisectors of the sides of the triangle. The coordinates of the circumcenter can be calculated using the formula based on the vertices of the triangle.
Step 2: Formula for Circumcenter Coordinates
If the triangle has vertices at , , and , the circumcenter can be found using the following formulas:
Then, the coordinates of the circumcenter are:
Step 3: Apply the formula
If you have specific coordinates for the triangle’s vertices, substitute them into the formulas above.
