Question

In the diagram, P1P2 and Q1Q2are the perpendicular bisectors of AB¯¯¯¯¯ and BC¯¯¯¯¯, respectively. A1A2 and B1B2 are the angle bisectors of ∠A and ∠B, respectively. What is the center of the circumscribed circle of ΔABC?

Answer 1

We have to choose the correct answer for the center of the circumscribed circle of a triangle. The center of the circumscribed circle of a triangle is where the perpendicular bisectors of a triangle intersects. In this case P1P2 and Q1Q2 are perpendicular bisectors of sides AB and BC, respectively and they intersect at point P. S is the point where the angle bisectors intersect ( it is the center of the inscribed circle ). Answer: P.
