The orthocentre and centroid of triangle are A(-3,5) and B(3,3) respectively. If C is the circumcenter of this triangle, then the radius of the circle having line segment A C as a diameter, is units.
Options
- A10
- B3 5 2
- C2 10
- D3 5 2
Correct answer
B. 3 5 2
Step-by-step solution
Circumcentre divides orthocentre A(-3,0) and centroid B(3,3) externally in the ratio 3:1 Hence, C ( 3 3-1 (-3) 3-1 , 3 3-1 5 3-1 ) (6,2) Now required radius = 1 2 A C= 1 2 (6+3)^2+(2-5)^2 =3 5 2
