  1. If triangle is acute,then the circumcenterlies insideof the triangle.If triangle is obtuse,


then the circumcenterlies outsideof the triangle.If triangle is a right triangle,then the circumcenter
lies on the hypotenuseof the triangle.






a. Yes

b. Yes

c. No

d. Oppositeanglesmustbe supplementary.





a. The trianglesare congruentto one anotherand eachis a right triangle.


  1. It is not a wise plan.Since and form an obtusetriangle,the locationof the circumcenterwould
    be outsidethe triangle.Hence,the healthcenterwouldbe locatedat the circumcenter, whichwouldbe a
    muchgreaterdistancefrom eachcity than the distancebetweenthe citiesthemselves.

  2. False.It is possibleto haveisoscelestrianglesthat are acute,obtuse,and right.Hence,thereare
    isoscelestriangleswherethe circumcentercouldbe locatedoutsidethe triangle(in the caseof an obtuse
    triangle)or on the boundaryof the triangle(in the caseof a right triangle).
