You draw perpendicular bisectors to find the center of a circle circumscribed about a triangle. Hook me up with 5 stars :)

A line segment that you should draw to find the center of a circle circumscribed about a triangle include the following: D. the perpendicular bisectors.

In Mathematics and Euclidean Geometry, a perpendicular bisector divides a line segment exactly into two (2) equal halves, in order to form a right angle with a magnitude of 90° at the point of intersection.

Generally speaking, a circumcenter is the point where perpendicular bisectors (right-angled lines to the midpoint) of the sides of a triangle meet together or intersect.

This ultimately implies that, the circumcenter of any triangle is always equidistant from all the rays (vertices) of that triangle.
