Question

2. Which diagram shows a point P an equal distance from points A, B, and C?H

Answer 1

Hello,


Answer A
One have drawn the mediators of the triangle which is a line passing in the middle of a side and perpendicular to it.

The circle is called circonscribed to the triangle.

Answer 2

The correct option is (a).

Explanation:

The vertices are equidistant from the circumcenter.

Circumcenter of a triangle is a point where the perpendicular bisectors are intersection each other.

In figure (a) the point P is the intersection point of all perpendicular bisector, therefore point P is the circumcenter of triangle ABC and the point P is equidistant from A,B and C.

Therefore option (a) is correct.

In figure (b) the point P is the intersection point of all perpendicular, therefore point P is not the circumcenter of triangle ABC.

Therefore option (b) is incorrect.

In figure (c) the point P is the intersection point of all bisectors, therefore point P is not the circumcenter of triangle ABC.

Therefore option (c) is incorrect.

In figure (d) the point P is the intersection point of all medians, therefore point P is not the circumcenter of triangle ABC.

Therefore option (d) is incorrect.
