Understanding the Circumcenter
What is a Circumcenter?
The circumcenter is the point where the perpendicular bisectors of a triangle's sides intersect. It is equidistant from all three vertices and serves as the center of the circumscribed circle.
- Center of circumscribed circle
- Equidistant from vertices
- Intersection of perpendicular bisectors
- Unique for each triangle
- Key point in triangle geometry
Properties of Perpendicular Bisectors
- Perpendicular to sides
- Bisects triangle sides
- Contains points equidistant from endpoints
- Forms right angles
- Concurrent at circumcenter
