Circumcenter

All three [b]perpendicular bisectors[/b] of the sides of a triangle will intersect at the same point - the [b]circumcenter[/b].[br][br]The circle that that contains all three vertices of a triangles is called the [b]circumcircle [/b]or [b]circumscribed circle.[/b][br][br]Move the points of the triangle to see how the circumcenter changes.
[br][br]
Question 1
How does the circumcenter change as the triangle changes? What can you predict about the location of the circumcenter based on the type of triangle?[br][br]-When is the circumcenter on the triangle? [br]-When is the circumcenter inside the triangle?[br]-When is the circumcenter outside the triangle?
Question 2
The circumcenter is the center of the circle that circumscribes the triangle. How would you describe, in words, the length of the radius of the circle that circumscribes a triangle?
