What is the circumcenter of a triangle?
The point of concurrency of the three perpendicular bisectors of a triangle is the circumcenter. It is the center of the circle circumscribed about the triangle, making the circumcenter equidistant from the three vertices of the triangle. The circumcenter is not always within the triangle. In a coordinate plane, to find the circumcenter we first find the equation of two perpendicular bisectors of the sides and solve the system of equations.
How to construct the circumcenter of an acute triangle, a right triangle and an obtuse angle?
Construct Circumcenter of an Acute Triangle
The circumcenter of an acute triangle is located inside the triangle
The circumcenter of a right triangle is at the midpoint of the hypotenuse.
The circumcenter of an obtuse triangle is outside the triangle opposite the obtuse angle.
