H means multiplication
1/2 x (a+b) x h
h is height
A right triangle can also be an isosceles triangle.
b = 78°
The angles at a point sum to 360°
that is 45 + 237 + b = 360
282 + b = 360 ( subtract 282 from both sides )
b = 360 - 282 = 78°
To find the circumcenter, solve any two bisector equations and find out the intersection points. The given are <span>A(1,1), B(0,2), and C(3,-2).
Midpoint of AB = (1/2, 3/2) - You can get the midpoint by getting the average of x-coordinates and y-coordinates.
Slope of AB = -1
Slope of perpendicular bisector = 1
</span>Equation of AB with slope 1 and the coordinates (1/2, 3/2) is
<span>y - (3/2) = (1)(x - 1/2)
</span><span>y = x+1
Do the same for AC
</span>Midpoint of AC = (2, -1/2)
Slope of AC = -3/2
Slope of perpendicular bisector = 2/3
Equation of AC with slope 2/3 and the coordinates (2, -1/2) is
y - (-1/2) = (2/3)(x - 2)
y = -11/6 + 2x/3
So <span>the perpendicular bisectors of AB and BC meet
</span>y = x+1
y = -11/6 + 2x/3
To solve for x,
(-11/6 + 2x/3) = (x+1)
x= -17/2
Now get y by substituting
y = (-17/2) + 1
y = -15/2
The circumcenter is (-17/2, -15/2)
