Help?!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what you think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

orthocenter

OpenStudy (anonymous):

>.< I think its orthocenter although I'm not sure.

OpenStudy (triciaal):

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

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.

Directrix (directrix):

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|
