Constructing the Circumcenter
Recall...
The circumcenter of a triangle is the intersection of its three perpendicular bisectors.
See if you can construct the circumcenter with what you already know. After about 5 minutes, move on.
Did you get this one?
Give a detailed description of the steps you followed to create this triangle's circumcenter. If you didn't get there, what things did you try?
Compare the steps you described to the ones below.
1. Find the midpoint of each side of the triangle.
2. Create a line that is both perpendicular to the triangle's side and through that side's midpoint.
3. Find the intersection of the three perpendicular bisectors and label it C for the circumcenter.
