*Perpendicular Bisector, Circumcenter, & Circumcircle of a Triangle

You try: Construct 3 Perpendicular Bisectors, the Point of Concurrency, and the Circle Circumscribed about Triangle ABC.

The Circumcenter

When perpendicular bisectors of sides are constructed, the point of concurrency is called the [u]circumcenter[/u]. The circumcenter is the location of the center of the circle that CIRCUMSCRIBES the triangle (or the triangle that is inscribed in the circle).

Click and drag one of the vertices of your triangle (A, B, or C). Then answer the question below.

Where is the circumcenter located?

Always inside the triangle Always outside the triangle. Sometimes inside the triangle, sometimes on the right angle vertex of the triangle, sometimes outside the triangle. Sometimes inside the triangle, at the midpoint of the hypotenuse, or outside the triangle.
