A triangle has vertices at A(0, 0), B(6, 0), and C(0, 8). What are the coordinates of its Circumcenter?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
A(0,0), B(6,0), C(0,8)
According to the formula:
Circumcenter of a right-angled triangle = Midpoint of the hypotenuse
Hypotenuse = BC
Midpoint = (6+0)/2, (0+8)/2
= (3, 4)
