Math Labs with Activity – Find the Circumcentre of a Given Triangle<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

OBJECTIVE<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

To find the circumcentre of a given triangle by the method of paper folding.<\/p>\n

Materials Required<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Three sheets of white paper<\/li>\n
  2. A geometry box<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Theory<\/strong> <\/span>
    \nThe point of intersection of the perpendicular bisectors of the sides of a triangle is called its circumcentre.<\/p>\n

    Procedure<\/strong> <\/span>
    \nStep 1:<\/strong> We shall first find the circumcentre of an acute- angled triangle. Draw an acute-angled triangle ABC on a sheet of white paper.
    \nStep 2:<\/strong> Fold the paper along the line that cuts the side BC such that the point B falls on the point C. Make a crease and unfold the paper. Draw a line X1<\/sub>Y1<\/sub> along the crease. Then, X1<\/sub>Y1<\/sub> is the perpendicular bisector of the side BC (see Figure 19.1).
    \n\"Math
    \nStep 3:<\/strong> Fold the paper along the line that cuts the side AC such that the point A falls on the point C. Make a crease and unfold the paper. Draw a line X2<\/sub>Y2<\/sub>\u00a0along the crease. Then X2<\/sub>Y2<\/sub> is the perpendicular bisector of the side AC (see Figure 19.1). Mark the point O where the lines X1<\/sub>Y1<\/sub> and X2<\/sub>Y2<\/sub> intersect. Then, the point O is the circumcentre of \u0394ABC. What do you observe?
    \nStep 4:<\/strong> We shall now find the circumcentre of a right-angled triangle. Draw a right-angled triangle ABC (right angled at C) on another sheet of white paper.
    \nStep 5:<\/strong> Fold the paper along the line that cuts the side BC such that the point B falls on the point C. Make a crease and unfold the paper. Draw a line X1<\/sub>Y1<\/sub> along the crease. Then, X1<\/sub>Y1<\/sub> is the perpendicular bisector of the side BC (see Figure 19.2).
    \n\"Math
    \nStep 6:<\/strong> Fold the paper along a line that cuts the side AC such that the point A falls on the point C. Make a crease and unfold the paper. Draw a line X2<\/sub>Y2<\/sub> along the crease. Then, X2<\/sub>Y2<\/sub> is the perpendicular bisector of the side AC (see Figure 19.2). Mark the point O where the lines X1<\/sub>Y1<\/sub> and X2<\/sub>Y2<\/sub> intersect. Then, O is the circumcentre of \u0394ABC. What do you observe?
    \nStep 7:<\/strong> We shall now find the circumcentre of an obtuse\u00acangled triangle. Draw an obtuse-angled triangle ABC (in which \u2220B is obtuse) on the third sheet of white paper.
    \nStep 8:<\/strong> Fold the paper along the line that cuts the side BC such that the point B falls on the point C. Make a crease and unfold the paper. Draw a line X1<\/sub>Y1<\/sub> along the crease. Then, X1<\/sub>Y1<\/sub> is the perpendicular bisector of the side BC (see Figure 19.3).
    \n\"Math
    \nStep 9:<\/strong> Fold the paper along the line that cuts the side AC such that the point A falls on the point C. Make a crease and unfold the paper. Draw a line X2<\/sub>Y2<\/sub> along the crease. Then, X2<\/sub>Y2<\/sub> is the perpendicular bisector of the side AC (see Figure 19.3). Mark the point O where the lines X1<\/sub>Y1<\/sub> and X2<\/sub>Y2<\/sub> intersect. Then, O is the circumcentre of \u0394ABC. What do you observe?<\/p>\n

    Observations<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. In an acute-angled triangle, the circumcentre lies inside the triangle.<\/li>\n
    2. In a right-angled triangle, the circumcentre lies at the midpoint of the hypotenuse. This can be confirmed by drawing the perpendicular bisector of the hypotenuse. The three perpendicular bisectors meet at the midpoint of the hypotenuse.<\/li>\n
    3. In an obtuse-angled triangle, the circumcentre lies outside the triangle.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Result<\/strong><\/span>
      \nThe point O is the circumcentre of the triangle (in each case).<\/p>\n

      Remarks:<\/strong> The teacher must explain it to the students that since the perpendicular bisectors of all the three sides of a triangle meet at a single point, it is sufficient to find the point of intersection of the perpendicular bisectors of only two sides to obtain the circumcentre of the triangle.<\/p>\n
