What is the radius of the circumscribed circle for a triangle with sides 16, 30, 34 units?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Given:
Sides of the triangle = 16, 30, 34
By the formula:
In a right-angled triangle,
Radius of the circumscribed circle = Hypotenuse / 2
16² + 30² = 256 + 900 = 1156
34² = 1156
Therefore, the triangle is right-angled and the hypotenuse = 34
R = 34 / 2
= 17 units
