Answer:

P(X, Y) = [(x1 sin 2A + x2 sin 2B + x3 sin 2C)/ (sin 2A + sin 2B + sin 2C), (y1 sin 2A + y2 sin 2B + y3 sin 2C)/ (sin 2A + sin 2B + sin 2C)]

Explanation:

How to Construct Circumcenter of a Triangle?

The circumcenter of any triangle can be constructed by drawing the perpendicular bisector of any of the two sides of that triangle. The steps to construct the circumcenter are:

Step 1: Draw the perpendicular bisector of any two sides of the given triangle.

Step 2: Using a ruler, extend the perpendicular bisectors until they intersect each other.

Step 3: Mark the intersecting point as P which will be the circumcenter of the triangle. It should be noted that, even the bisector of the third side will also intersect at P.
