The vertices of a triangle are O (0, 0), A (a, 0) and B (0, b). Write the coordinates of its circumcentre.

Open in App

Solution

The coordinates of circumcentre of a triangle are the intersection of perpendicular bisectors of any two sides of the triangle.

Thus, the coordinates of circumcentre of triangle OAB are $(\frac{a}{2}, \frac{b}{2})$ , as shown in the figure.
