Original Khojo Papers practice question — not from a past board paper.
Answer
The centre is the point where the perpendicular bisectors of the sides meet.
No citable source has been recorded for this record. Treat it as practice material, not as fact.
Explanation
The circumcentre is equidistant from all three vertices, and the locus of points equidistant from two vertices is the perpendicular bisector of the side joining them.
