Circumcentre of the triangle whose vertices are (2, –1) , (3, 2) and (0, 3) is-
A
(1, – 1)
B
(–1, 1)
C
(1, 1)
D
None of these
Answer
(1, 1)
Explanation
Solution
A ŗ (2, –1) B ŗ (3, 2) C ŗ (0, 3)
AB = 10 , BC = 10 ; CA = 20
Q AB2 + BC2 = CA2
\ DABC is right angled D, CA is Hypotenuse
mid point of hypotenuse CA is circumcentre M of DABC, M ŗ (22+0,2−1+3)
