The answer is the option B

The circumcenter of triangle ABC is the point (3,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The circumcenter of a triangle, is the point where the perpendicular bisectors of a triangle meets

In this problem we have the coordinates of the triangle ABC

A(1,6) ,B(1,4),C(5,4)

Step 1

Find the slope of the side AB

The side AB is a vertical side (parallel to the y-axis)

The slope of the side AB is undefined

we know that

The perpendicular line to the side AB will be a horizontal line (parallel to the x-axis)

The equation of the perpendicular bisector to the side AB will be the y-coordinate of the midpoint AB

Step 2

Find the y-coordinate of midpoint AB

we know that

The formula to calculate the y-coordinate of the midpoint between two points is equal to

$y=\frac{y1+y2}{2}$

we have

A(1,6) ,B(1,4)

Substitute the values

$y=\frac{6+4}{2}=5$

therefore

The equation of the perpendicular bisector to the side AB is

y=5 ------> equation A

Step 3

Find the slope of the side BC

The side BC is a horizontal side (parallel to the x-axis)

The slope of the side BC is zero

we know that

The perpendicular line to the side BC will be a vertical line (parallel to the y-axis)

The equation of the perpendicular bisector to the side BC will be the x-coordinate of the midpoint BC

Step 4

Find the x-coordinate of midpoint BC

we know that

The formula to calculate the x-coordinate of the midpoint between two points is equal to

$x=\frac{x1+x2}{2}$

we have

B(1,4),C(5,4)

Substitute the values

$x=\frac{1+5}{2}=3$

therefore

The equation of the perpendicular bisector to the side BC is

x=3 ------> equation B

Step 5

Find the circumcenter of triangle ABC

To calculate the circumcenter

Solve the system of equations compound by equation A and equation B

y=5 ------> equation A

x=3 ------> equation B

The intersection point is (3,5) -------> the circumcenter of triangle ABC

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

Determine if the following statement is true or false. the normal curve is symmetric about itsâ€‹ mean, mu. choose the best answer below. a. the statement is false. the normal curve is not symmetric about itsâ€‹ mean, because the mean is the balancing point of the graph of the distribution. the median is the point whereâ€‹ 50% of the area under the distribution is to the left andâ€‹ 50% to the right.â€‹ therefore, the normal curve could only be symmetric about itsâ€‹ median, not about its mean. b. the statement is true. the normal curve is a symmetric distribution with oneâ€‹ peak, which means theâ€‹ mean, median, and mode are all equal.â€‹ therefore, the normal curve is symmetric about theâ€‹ mean, mu. c. the statement is false. the mean is the balancing point for the graph of aâ€‹ distribution, andâ€‹ therefore, it is impossible for any distribution to be symmetric about the mean. d. the statement is true. the mean is the balancing point for the graph of aâ€‹ distribution, andâ€‹ therefore, all distributions are symmetric about the mean.
