Step-by-step solution

Let the coordinates of vertex BB be (x1,y1)andvertex(x_1, y_1) and vertexCbebe(x_2, y_2).<br><br>Sincethemid−pointof.<br><br>Since the mid-point ofABisis(5, -1),wehave:<br>, we have:<br>\dfrac{1 + x_1}{2} = 5 \Rightarrow x_1 = 9<br><br>\dfrac{2 + y_1}{2} = -1 \Rightarrow y_1 = -4<br>Thus,<br>Thus,B \equiv (9, -4).<br><br>Giventhecentroidof.<br><br>Given the centroid of\triangle ABCisis(3, 4),weget:<br>, we get:<br>\dfrac{1 + 9 + x_2}{3} = 3 \Rightarrow x_2 = -1<br><br>\dfrac{2 - 4 + y_2}{3} = 4 \Rightarrow y_2 = 14<br>Thus,<br>Thus,C \equiv (-1, 14).<br><br>Thecircumcenter.<br><br>The circumcenter(\alpha, \beta)istheintersectionoftheperpendicularbisectorsofthesidesofthetriangle.<br><br>Forsideis the intersection of the perpendicular bisectors of the sides of the triangle.<br><br>For sideAB,themid−pointis, the mid-point is(5, -1)andtheslopeisand the slope is\dfrac{-4 - 2}{9 - 1} = -\dfrac{3}{4}.<br>Theslopeofitsperpendicularbisectoris.<br>The slope of its perpendicular bisector is\dfrac{4}{3}.<br>Equationoftheperpendicularbisectorof.<br>Equation of the perpendicular bisector ofABis:<br>is:<br>y - (-1) = \dfrac{4}{3}(x - 5) \Rightarrow 4x - 3y = 23<br><br>Forside<br><br>For sideAC,themid−pointis(1−12,2+142)=(0,8), the mid-point is \left(\dfrac{1 - 1}{2}, \dfrac{2 + 14}{2}\right) = (0, 8) and the slope is 14−2−1−1=−6\dfrac{14 - 2}{-1 - 1} = -6.
The slope of its perpendicular bisector is 16\dfrac{1}{6}.
Equation of the perpendicular bisector of ACAC is:
y−8=16(x−0)⇒x−6y=−48y - 8 = \dfrac{1}{6}(x - 0) \Rightarrow x - 6y = -48

Solving the equations 4x−3y=234x - 3y = 23 and x−6y=−48x - 6y = -48:
Multiplying the first equation by 22 gives 8x−6y=468x - 6y = 46.
Subtracting the second equation from this gives:
7x=94⇒x=9477x = 94 \Rightarrow x = \dfrac{94}{7}
Substituting xx into the second equation:
947−6y=−48⇒6y=4307⇒y=21521\dfrac{94}{7} - 6y = -48 \Rightarrow 6y = \dfrac{430}{7} \Rightarrow y = \dfrac{215}{21}

Therefore, the circumcenter is (α,β)=(947,21521)(\alpha, \beta) = \left(\dfrac{94}{7}, \dfrac{215}{21}\right).

Finally, calculating 21(α+β)21(\alpha + \beta):
21(α+β)=21(947+21521)=3(94)+215=282+215=49721(\alpha + \beta) = 21\left(\dfrac{94}{7} + \dfrac{215}{21}\right) = 3(94) + 215 = 282 + 215 = 497.
