Solution

To solve this problem, we need to find the distance from the orthocenter to the circumcenter of triangle ABC. Let's break down the problem step-by-step.

Given:

  • AB=4AB = 4
  • AC=23AC = 2\sqrt{3}
  • BCBC is the perpendicular bisector to these two sides.

First, let's identify the type of triangle:

  • Since BCBC is perpendicular to both ABAB and ACAC, triangle ABCABC is a right triangle.
  • BCBC is the hypotenuse.

In a right triangle, the circumcenter is the midpoint of the hypotenuse, and the orthocenter is the vertex at the right angle.

Let's use the Pythagorean theorem to find BCBC: BC=AB2+AC2BC = \sqrt{AB^2 + AC^2} BC=42+(23)2BC = \sqrt{4^2 + (2\sqrt{3})^2} BC=16+12BC = \sqrt{16 + 12} BC=28BC = \sqrt{28} BC=27BC = 2\sqrt{7}

The circumcenter (O) is at the midpoint of BCBC. Thus:

  • OO is at (B+C2)\left( \frac{B+C}{2} \right).

The orthocenter (H) of a right triangle is at the right angle, which means HH is at point AA.

The distance between orthocenter HH and circumcenter OO is half of the hypotenuse BCBC: OH=BC2OH = \frac{BC}{2} OH=272OH = \frac{2\sqrt{7}}{2} OH=7OH = \sqrt{7}

Therefore, the distance from the orthocenter to the circumcenter of triangle ABC is 7\sqrt{7}.

The correct answer is:

  1. 7\sqrt{7}
