Solution

The correct option is A 2 cm
  • Construct triangle ABC of given specifications.
  • Draw perpendicular bisectors of sides AB and BC.
  • Mark the intersection of the perpendicular bisectors as O.
  • Draw a circle taking O as the centre and OA as radius.

This is the required circumcircle.
By measuring, we see that the radius of the circle is 2 cm.
