1. Jason wants to build a home on some property he just purchased. His property just happens to be shaped like an obtuse triangle. Would the circumcenter be a good location for his home? Why or why not

Question

amistre64 · Answer

these questions are never good,  its really up to jason to pick whatever spot he wants to right :)

amistre64 · Answer

if an angle is greater then 90; it tends to bring the circumcenter outside of the boundaries ...

amistre64 · Answer

or am i confusing terms again .....

anonymous · Answer

No, you're right.  The circumcenter is the center of the circle that circumscribes the triangle.  In an obtuse triangle it is outside (on the hypotenuse side) of the triangle.

That would be a bad choice of location for the house since Jason probably doesn't own that land.
