QQuestion

In △ABC, ∠ABC = 90°, AB = 6 cm, BC = 8 cm. Find the circum-radius of triangle ABC.

Exam-ready answer 02 Mark

Answer

For a right-angled triangle,

Circum-radius (R) = (hypotenuse) / 2.

Find hypotenuse AC using Pythagoras:

AC² = AB² + BC² = 6² + 8² = 36 + 64 = 100

⇒ AC² = 100

⇒ AC = 10 cm

So, R = AC / 2 = 10 / 2 = 5 cm.
