The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to identify two key concepts related to triangles: the point where the perpendicular bisectors of the sides meet and the center of the circle that circumscribes the triangle. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Triangle**: - We start by considering a triangle, which we can label as triangle ABC. 2. **Drawing the Perpendicular Bisectors**: - For each side of the triangle (AB, BC, and CA), we need to draw the perpendicular bisector. - The perpendicular bisector of a line segment is a line that is perpendicular to the segment and divides it into two equal parts. 3. **Finding the Intersection Point**: - The three perpendicular bisectors will intersect at a single point. - This point is significant because it is equidistant from all three vertices of the triangle. 4. **Identifying the Point**: - The point where the perpendicular bisectors meet is known as the **circumcenter** of the triangle. 5. **Circumscribing Circle**: - A circle can be drawn with the circumcenter as the center and the distance from the circumcenter to any vertex as the radius. - This circle is known as the circumcircle, and it touches all three vertices of the triangle. 6. **Filling in the Blanks**: - Therefore, the answers to the blanks in the question are both "circumcenter". ### Final Answer: - The point at which the perpendicular bisectors of the sides meet is the **circumcenter**. - The center of the circle that circumscribes the triangle is also the **circumcenter**.
