1. construction draw an obtuse triangle. find the circumcenter. then construct the circumscribed circle. where is the location of the

circumcenter for this construction?
o inside of the triangle
o outside of the triangle
o on a side of the triangle
o on a vertex of the triangle

Explanation:

The circumcenter of a triangle is the point where the perpendicular bisectors of the sides of the triangle intersect. For an acute triangle, the circumcenter is inside the triangle. For a right - angled triangle, the circumcenter is on the hypotenuse (a side of the triangle). For an obtuse triangle, since the angles are greater than 90 degrees, the perpendicular bisectors intersect outside the triangle.

Answer:

outside of the triangle
