What is the circumcentre of the triangle with vertices (0, 0), (8, 0) and (0, 6)?

Competition practiceGeometry
  • A(4, 3)
  • B(8/3, 2)
  • C(2, 2)
  • D(4, 0)

Step-by-Step Solution

The triangle is right-angled at the origin, so its circumcentre is the midpoint of the hypotenuse joining (8, 0) and (0, 6): (4, 3). ((8/3, 2) is the centroid and (2, 2) the incentre.)
Answer: A) (4, 3)
