The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the area of the triangle formed by the given lines and determine the circumcenter. The equations of the sides of the triangle are: 1. \( x + y - 5 = 0 \) 2. \( x - y + 1 = 0 \) 3. \( x + y - \sqrt{2} = 0 \) ### Step 1: Find the Points of Intersection We will find the points of intersection of the lines to determine the vertices of the triangle. **Intersection of Line 1 and Line 2:** From Line 1: \[ y = 5 - x \] Substituting into Line 2: \[ x - (5 - x) + 1 = 0 \] \[ x - 5 + x + 1 = 0 \] \[ 2x - 4 = 0 \] \[ x = 2 \] Now substitute \( x = 2 \) back into Line 1: \[ y = 5 - 2 = 3 \] So, the first vertex is \( A(2, 3) \). --- **Intersection of Line 1 and Line 3:** From Line 1: \[ y = 5 - x \] Substituting into Line 3: \[ x + (5 - x) - \sqrt{2} = 0 \] \[ 5 - \sqrt{2} = 0 \] This does not yield a valid intersection since it does not depend on \( x \). --- **Intersection of Line 2 and Line 3:** From Line 2: \[ y = x + 1 \] Substituting into Line 3: \[ x + (x + 1) - \sqrt{2} = 0 \] \[ 2x + 1 - \sqrt{2} = 0 \] \[ 2x = \sqrt{2} - 1 \] \[ x = \frac{\sqrt{2} - 1}{2} \] Now substitute \( x \) back into Line 2: \[ y = \frac{\sqrt{2} - 1}{2} + 1 = \frac{\sqrt{2} + 1}{2} \] So the second vertex is \( B\left(\frac{\sqrt{2} - 1}{2}, \frac{\sqrt{2} + 1}{2}\right) \). --- **Intersection of Line 1 and Line 3:** We already found that this does not yield a valid intersection. ### Step 2: Find the Circumcenter For a right triangle, the circumcenter is the midpoint of the hypotenuse. We need to find the hypotenuse first. The hypotenuse is between points \( A(2, 3) \) and \( B\left(\frac{\sqrt{2} - 1}{2}, \frac{\sqrt{2} + 1}{2}\right) \). **Midpoint Calculation:** The midpoint \( M \) of segment \( AB \) is given by: \[ M = \left( \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2} \right) \] Substituting the coordinates: \[ M = \left( \frac{2 + \frac{\sqrt{2} - 1}{2}}{2}, \frac{3 + \frac{\sqrt{2} + 1}{2}}{2} \right) \] Calculating the x-coordinate: \[ M_x = \frac{4 + \sqrt{2} - 1}{4} = \frac{3 + \sqrt{2}}{4} \] Calculating the y-coordinate: \[ M_y = \frac{6 + \sqrt{2} + 1}{4} = \frac{7 + \sqrt{2}}{4} \] Thus, the circumcenter is: \[ M\left(\frac{3 + \sqrt{2}}{4}, \frac{7 + \sqrt{2}}{4}\right) \] ### Conclusion The circumcenter of the triangle formed by the given lines is \( M\left(\frac{3 + \sqrt{2}}{4}, \frac{7 + \sqrt{2}}{4}\right) \).

To solve the problem, we need to find the area of the triangle formed by the given lines and determine the circumcenter. The equations of the sides of the triangle are: 1. \( x + y - 5 = 0 \) 2. \( x - y + 1 = 0 \) 3. \( x + y - \sqrt{2} = 0 \) ### Step 1: Find the Points of Intersection ...
