do you know the steps in constructing a circle circumscribed by a triangle? (there is 3 of them)

Florisalreadytaken:

@kekeman you there mate?

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Florisalreadytaken do you know the steps in constructing a circle circumscribed by a triangle? (there is 3 of them) \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) Nahhh

Florisalreadytaken:

firstly, he has to onstruct the perpendicular bisector for both sides, which he has already done

kekeman:

Okkk

Florisalreadytaken:

where these points cross is the center of the circle -- all he got to do is just use the compass

AZ:

Watch the animation on here: https://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/construct-trianglecircum.html And quoting from there: `1) Construct the perpendicular bisector of one side of triangle` `2) Construct the perpendicular bisector of another side` `3) Where they cross is the center of the Circumscribed circle` `4) Place compass on the center point, adjust its length to reach any corner of the triangle, and draw your Circumscribed circle!`

kekeman:

So he has to overall use the compass to find the perpendicular bisector for side DF?

Florisalreadytaken:

positive

AZ:

If you look at your current diagram, he has only completed the first step: he has constructed a perpendicular bisector for the side EF perpendicular bisector just means a side that is perpendicular to it

AZ:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @kekeman So he has to overall use the compass to find the perpendicular bisector for side DF? \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) That is correct
