Answer 6

Do you think you might be able to help?

Answer 7

@jim_thompson5910 please help me

Answer 8

I just need to know what the circumcenter is and how to find it, if you don't mind

Answer 9

do you know how to find the perpendicular bisector of any line segment?

Answer 10

Find the length of the segment and divide by two, right?

Answer 11

sort of... but not really

Answer 12

you need to find the midpoint

and you need to find the slope of the line (to get the perpendicular slope)

Answer 13

What is the circumcenter? Can you explain that before teaching me how to find it?

Answer 14

if you don't know much about how to find the perpendicular bisector, then I suggest you start there first

Answer 15

Okay I'll be back in a minute. Thanks

Answer 16

let me see what I can find

Answer 17

here's a good page that has an example

Answer 18

I recommend you practice finding the perpendicular bisector so it becomes easier to deal with.

Answer 19

once you get the hang of finding the perpendicular bisector, let me know
