Options
- A4 units
- B2 units
- C3 units
- D5 units
Correct answer
D. 5 units
Step-by-step solution
Circumradius of the triangle with sides 6, 8, and 10. Let a = 6 , b = 8 , and c = 10 . Since a^2 + b^2 = 36 + 64 = 100 and c^2 = 100 , the triangle satisfies a^2 + b^2 = c^2 , making it a right triangle with hypotenuse c . The circumradius of a right triangle is half the hypotenuse: R = c 2 = 10 2 = 5 . The circumradius is 5 units. 5
