The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to verify the two statements regarding the triangle formed by the vertices A(-5, -2), B(7, 6), and C(5, -4). We will check if the triangle is a right triangle and then find the circumcenter. ### Step 1: Find the slopes of the sides of the triangle 1. **Calculate the slope of AB:** \[ \text{slope of } AB = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{6 - (-2)}{7 - (-5)} = \frac{6 + 2}{7 + 5} = \frac{8}{12} = \frac{2}{3} \] 2. **Calculate the slope of BC:** \[ \text{slope of } BC = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{6 - (-4)}{7 - 5} = \frac{6 + 4}{7 - 5} = \frac{10}{2} = 5 \] 3. **Calculate the slope of AC:** \[ \text{slope of } AC = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{-2 - (-4)}{-5 - 5} = \frac{-2 + 4}{-10} = \frac{2}{-10} = -\frac{1}{5} \] ### Step 2: Check if the triangle is a right triangle To check if the triangle is a right triangle, we need to see if the product of the slopes of two sides is -1 (indicating they are perpendicular). - Check slopes of BC and AC: \[ \text{slope of } BC \times \text{slope of } AC = 5 \times -\frac{1}{5} = -1 \] This confirms that BC is perpendicular to AC, hence triangle ABC is a right triangle. ### Step 3: Find the circumcenter In a right triangle, the circumcenter is located at the midpoint of the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse in triangle ABC is AB. 1. **Find the midpoint of AB:** \[ \text{Midpoint} = \left( \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2} \right) = \left( \frac{-5 + 7}{2}, \frac{-2 + 6}{2} \right) = \left( \frac{2}{2}, \frac{4}{2} \right) = (1, 2) \] ### Conclusion - The circumcenter of triangle ABC is at (1, 2). - Since triangle ABC is a right triangle, the midpoint of the hypotenuse (AB) is indeed the circumcenter. ### Final Statements - **Statement 1**: True, the coordinates of the circumcenter are (1, 2). - **Statement 2**: True, in a right-angled triangle, the midpoint of the hypotenuse is the circumcenter.
