Question

Circumcenter of a right angled triangle lies outside the triangle.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

False

Let $△ABC$ be right angled at B. Circumcircle is a circle which passes through all three vertices A,B,C of a

triangle

For a right angled triangle circumcenter lies on the hypotenuse and it is mid point of the hypotenuse.

Let D be the circumcenter of the right angled triangle ABC

where

AD=BD=CD

D is the midpoint of the hypotenuse AC

Circumcenter of a right angled triangle lies on the triangle

So,given statement is false.
