in my opinion line segment from angle X that is perpendicular to side ZY will pass through O

anonymous · Answer

please do conform it. i have tried it myself

amistre64 · Answer

do you recall the definition or the means to find the circumcenter?

amistre64 · Answer

i do believe that crossing perp bisectors is how we determine the circumcenter to begin with

def: "The circumcenter is the point which is the same distance from all 3 vertexes of the triangle."
