What is the centre of the circle drawn through the three vertices of a triangle called?
Think it through first, then pick an option.
- a incentre
- b circumcentre
- c centroid
- d orthocentre
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: b circumcentre
The circle through the three vertices is the circumcircle and its centre is the circumcentre.
Why the other options are wrong
- a incentre: The incentre belongs to the circle inside the triangle, not the one through the vertices.
- c centroid: The centroid is where the medians meet, not a circle's centre.
- d orthocentre: The orthocentre is where the three altitudes meet.
