Answer:
Circumcentre is at (5,2)
Circumradius is 5
Hope this helps!
Step-by-step explanation:
The circumcentre is at the intersection of the perpendicular bisectors.
The side from (8,6) to (8,-2) is vertical. Its midpoint is at (8, (6+-2)/2) = (8, 2). So the perpendicular bisector is the horizontal line through (8,2). Therefore the circumcentre, which is on this line, has y-coordinate equal to 2.
The side from (8,-2) to (2,-2) is horizontal with midpoint at (5,-2). The perpendicular bisector is vertical through (5,-2). Therefore the circumcentre has x-coordinate equal to 5.
Therefore the circumcentre is at (5,2).
The circumradius is the distance from the circumcentre to any of the vertices. The distance from (5,2) to (8,6) is
√( (8-5)² + (6-2)² ) = √( 3² + 4² ) = √25 = 5.
So the circumradius is 5.
