The correct Answer is:
To find the coordinates of the circumcenter \( C \) of triangle \( ABC \) given the coordinates of the orthocenter \( O' \) and the centroid \( G \), we can use the relationship between these points. The orthocenter \( O' \), centroid \( G \), and circumcenter \( C \) are collinear, and the centroid divides the line segment \( OC \) in the ratio \( 2:1 \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Given Points**: - Orthocenter \( O' = (0, 1) \) - Centroid \( G = (2, 3) \) 2. **Use the Section Formula**: The centroid \( G \) divides the line segment \( OC \) in the ratio \( 2:1 \). If we denote the coordinates of the circumcenter \( C \) as \( (x, y) \), we can use the section formula for internal division: \[ G = \left( \frac{2x + 0}{2 + 1}, \frac{2y + 1}{2 + 1} \right) \] 3. **Set Up the Equations**: From the x-coordinates: \[ \frac{2x + 0}{3} = 2 \] From the y-coordinates: \[ \frac{2y + 1}{3} = 3 \] 4. **Solve for \( x \)**: Multiply both sides of the x-coordinate equation by 3: \[ 2x = 6 \implies x = 3 \] 5. **Solve for \( y \)**: Multiply both sides of the y-coordinate equation by 3: \[ 2y + 1 = 9 \implies 2y = 8 \implies y = 4 \] 6. **Conclusion**: The coordinates of the circumcenter \( C \) are \( (3, 4) \). ### Final Answer: The coordinates of the circumcenter are \( (3, 4) \).
