Find the coordinates of the circumcenter of the triangle with the given vertices. X(-2, 1), Y(2, -3), Z(6, -3).
1 answer:
Answer:
C (4,3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Steps to find the circumcenter:
1) Find and Calculate the midpoint of given coordinates or midpoints.
2) Calculate the slope of the perpendicular bisector lines
3) By using the midpoint and the slope, find out the equation of the line
4) Do the same for another line
Solve the equations of two lines to get the intersection point.
The intersection point will be the circumcenter of the triangle.
Given :
X(-2,1), Y(2,-3), Z(6,-3)

Check the picture below on the left-side.
we know the central angle of the "empty" area is 120°, however the legs coming from the center of the circle, namely the radius, are always 6, therefore the legs stemming from the 120° angle, are both 6, making that triangle an isosceles.
now, using the "inscribed angle" theorem, check the picture on the right-side, we know that the inscribed angle there, in red, is 30°, that means the intercepted arc is twice as much, thus 60°, and since arcs get their angle measurement from the central angle they're in, the central angle making up that arc is also 60°, as in the picture.
so, the shaded area is really just the area of that circle's "sector" with 60°, PLUS the area of the circle's "segment" with 120°.
