Explanation:

circumcentre:

In geometry, the circumscribed circle or circumcircle of a polygon is a circle that passes through all the vertices of the polygon. The center of this circle is called the circumcenter and its radius is called the circumradius. Not every polygon has a circumscribed circle.

othocentre:

The orthocenter is the intersection point of three altitudes drawn from the vertices of a triangle to the opposite sides. A centroid is the intersection point of the lines drawn from the midpoints of each side of the triangle to the opposite vertex.
