The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to establish the relationship between the circumradii \( R \) and \( R' \) of triangles \( ABC \) and \( OBC \), where \( O \) is the orthocenter of triangle \( ABC \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Circumradius**: The circumradius \( R \) of triangle \( ABC \) is defined as the radius of the circumcircle that passes through all three vertices \( A \), \( B \), and \( C \). Similarly, \( R' \) is the circumradius of triangle \( OBC \). 2. **Properties of the Orthocenter**: The orthocenter \( O \) of triangle \( ABC \) is the point where the three altitudes intersect. The angles formed at the orthocenter have specific relationships with the angles of triangle \( ABC \). 3. **Using the Sine Rule**: For triangle \( ABC \): \[ \frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B} = \frac{c}{\sin C} = 2R \] For triangle \( OBC \): \[ \frac{BC}{\sin BOC} = 2R' \] 4. **Finding Angle \( BOC \)**: The angle \( BOC \) can be expressed in terms of the angles of triangle \( ABC \): \[ \angle BOC = 180^\circ - \angle A \] Therefore, using the sine function: \[ \sin BOC = \sin(180^\circ - A) = \sin A \] 5. **Applying the Sine Rule in Triangle \( OBC \)**: From the sine rule in triangle \( OBC \): \[ \frac{BC}{\sin BOC} = 2R' \] Substituting for \( \sin BOC \): \[ \frac{BC}{\sin A} = 2R' \] 6. **Relating \( BC \) to \( R \)**: Since \( BC \) corresponds to side \( a \) in triangle \( ABC \): \[ a = 2R \sin A \] Substituting this into the equation gives: \[ \frac{2R \sin A}{\sin A} = 2R' \] Simplifying this yields: \[ 2R = 2R' \] Thus, we have: \[ R' = R \] ### Conclusion: The circumradius \( R' \) of triangle \( OBC \) is equal to the circumradius \( R \) of triangle \( ABC \). Therefore, the answer is: \[ R' = R \]
