A, B, C are three points such that AB = 11 cm, BC = 13 cm and AC = 24 cm. Number of circles passing through the points A, B, C is:
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 0.
Given that, AB = 11 cm
BC = 13 cm
AC = 24 cm
For a triangle to be formed, the sum of any two sides should be greater than the third side, a + b > c.
In the given question,
AB + BC = AC
So, no triangle is formed.
And no circle will pass through the points A, B and C.
Hence the number of circles passing through points A, B and C is 0.
