The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the possible values of \(2R\) (where \(R\) is the circumradius) for a triangle \(ABC\) with integer coordinates for its vertices. We will derive the relationship between the circumradius and the area of the triangle, and then analyze the options given. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Triangle Vertices**: The vertices of triangle \(ABC\) are given to have integer coordinates. Let's denote the vertices as \(A(x_1, y_1)\), \(B(x_2, y_2)\), and \(C(x_3, y_3)\), where \(x_i\) and \(y_i\) are integers. 2. **Area of Triangle**: The area \(A\) of triangle \(ABC\) can be calculated using the formula: \[ A = \frac{1}{2} \left| x_1(y_2 - y_3) + x_2(y_3 - y_1) + x_3(y_1 - y_2) \right| \] Since the coordinates are integers, the area \(A\) will also be a rational number. 3. **Circumradius Formula**: The circumradius \(R\) of triangle \(ABC\) is given by the formula: \[ R = \frac{abc}{4A} \] where \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\) are the lengths of the sides opposite to vertices \(A\), \(B\), and \(C\) respectively. 4. **Finding \(2R\)**: To find \(2R\), we multiply the circumradius by 2: \[ 2R = \frac{abc}{2A} \] 5. **Minimum Area**: The minimum area of a triangle with integer vertices is \(\frac{1}{2}\) square units. Therefore, we can say: \[ A \geq \frac{1}{2} \] 6. **Inequality for \(2R\)**: Substituting the minimum area into the formula for \(2R\): \[ 2R = \frac{abc}{2A} \leq \frac{abc}{2 \times \frac{1}{2}} = abc \] This means: \[ 2R \leq abc \] 7. **Analyzing the Options**: We need to check which of the given options satisfy the inequality \(2R \leq abc\): - **Option 1**: \(2R \leq \frac{8}{9}abc\) - This is true since \(\frac{8}{9}abc < abc\). - **Option 2**: \(2R \leq \frac{9}{8}abc\) - This is false since \(\frac{9}{8}abc > abc\). - **Option 3**: \(2R \leq \frac{abc}{2}\) - This is false since \(\frac{abc}{2} < abc\). - **Option 4**: \(2R \leq abc\) - This is true. Thus, the valid options are **Option 1** and **Option 4**. ### Final Answer: The values that \(2R\) can equal are \(2R \leq \frac{8}{9}abc\) and \(2R \leq abc\).
