A triangle has corners at #(3 ,8 )#, #(5 ,9 )#, and #(8 ,2 )#. What is the area of the triangle's circumscribed circle?
1 Answer
Area of the circum-circle
Explanation:
ABC is the triangl and D,E,F are the midpoints of AB,BC & CA respectively.
Point D has coordinates as
Similarly, E coordinates
F coordinates
Slope of AB
Slope of
Circum-center C’ is the meeting point of perpendicular bisectors of the Sides.
Equation of C’D is
Slope of BC
Slope ofC’E perpendicular bisector of BC is
Equation of C’E is
Solving equations (1) & (2) will give point C’.
Adding both equations,
Coordinates of C’ is
Radius of circum-circle is C’A=C’B=C’C
C’A
Verification:
C’B
