Dear student,

Use the concept:

The perpendicular bisectors of the sides of a triangle pass through the same point.

theorem on circumcentre of triangle

In the above theorem, we have proved that OA = OB = OC. That is, if a circle with `O' as centre and radius = OA (or OB or OC) is drawn, this circle will pass through the vertices. A, B, C of the triangle. This circle is called the circumcircle, the centre of circumcircle is called the circumcentre and the radius of circum circle as called the circum radius.
