Help?!
a cellular service company wants to strengthen their network coverage by building new service towers. They've located three service towers that form vertices of a triangle and want to build a fourth tower equidistant to each of the three existing towers. Which point of concurrency do they need to find? My answer they would have to find the orthocenter.
Answer options: a. incenter b. orthocenter c. centriod d. circumcenter
okay
what you think
orthocenter
>.< I think its orthocenter although I'm not sure.
centroid is where the medians intersect while the orthocenter is where the altitudes intersect. between these 2 using context clues in math i'll pick centroid
@Directrix
I think you want the point of intersection( concurrency) of the 3 perpendicular bisectors of the three sides of the triangle. All points on the perpendicular bisectors are equidistant from the endpoints of the segments.
The point of intersection is equidistant from all 3 vertices. I think the answer is this: d. circumcenter as it is the point of concurrency of the perpendicuar bisectors. |dw:1420331885256:dw|
