thats correct. Where these bisectors intersect will be the centre of the circle.

how you get the center of the circle - this will be the first step sure

welshfella · Answer

Oh sorry! your choice is incorrect  Correct is the first choice.

anonymous · Answer

I got that one wrong though.

welshfella · Answer

ITs the perpendicular bisectors of each side

welshfella · Answer

I misread the question 
A is  correct.

anonymous · Answer

A was wrong.

anonymous · Answer

A would be correct if it was "circumscribed about a triangle" @welshfella

welshfella · Answer

Hmm.  I am embarassed.  I had better revise some geometry.

anonymous · Answer

Don't be, it's okay. :)

welshfella · Answer

sorry
