The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to establish the relationship between the circumradii \( R \) and \( R' \) of triangles \( ABC \) and \( OBC \) respectively, where \( O \) is the orthocenter of triangle \( ABC \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the triangles and their circumradii**: - Let \( R \) be the circumradius of triangle \( ABC \). - Let \( R' \) be the circumradius of triangle \( OBC \). 2. **Understand the angles in triangle \( ABC \)**: - In triangle \( ABC \), the angles are \( A \), \( B \), and \( C \). - The orthocenter \( O \) is the point where the altitudes of triangle \( ABC \) intersect. 3. **Analyze triangle \( OBC \)**: - The angle \( \angle BOC \) can be expressed in terms of the angles of triangle \( ABC \): \[ \angle BOC = 180^\circ - \angle A = \pi - A \] - This is because the sum of angles in triangle \( ABC \) is \( 180^\circ \). 4. **Apply the Sine Rule in triangle \( ABC \)**: - According to the Sine Rule: \[ \frac{a}{\sin A} = 2R \] - Here, \( a \) is the side opposite angle \( A \). 5. **Apply the Sine Rule in triangle \( OBC \)**: - For triangle \( OBC \): \[ \frac{a}{\sin(B + C)} = 2R' \] - Since \( B + C = \pi - A \), we have: \[ \sin(B + C) = \sin(\pi - A) = \sin A \] - Therefore, we can rewrite the equation as: \[ \frac{a}{\sin A} = 2R' \] 6. **Equate the two expressions**: - From the two Sine Rule applications, we have: \[ 2R = \frac{a}{\sin A} = 2R' \] 7. **Conclude the relationship between \( R \) and \( R' \)**: - By equating the two expressions, we find: \[ R = R' \] Thus, the circumradius \( R \) of triangle \( ABC \) is equal to the circumradius \( R' \) of triangle \( OBC \). ### Final Answer: \[ R = R' \]
