Question
where is the circumcenter located in an obtuse triangle? on the hypotenuse on the right angle outside the triangle inside the triangle
The circumcenter is the point where the perpendicular bisectors of a triangle's sides intersect. In an obtuse triangle, since one angle is greater than 90 degrees, the intersection of these perpendicular bisectors (the circumcenter) lies outside the triangle. For a right - angled triangle, the circumcenter is on the hypotenuse, and for an acute triangle, it is inside the triangle. There is no triangle type where the circumcenter is on a right - angle vertex.
