- sides of triangle are 5,12,13
i.e triangle is right angled,hypotenuse=13
in case of a right angled triangle, the hypotenuse is the diameter of the circumcircle
so radius of the circum circle=13/2=6.5 units

- C 6.5 units
Sides of the traingle are a=5,b=12,c=13 then
radius of circum circle=abc/Sqrt[(a+b+c)(b+c-a)(c+a-b)(a+b-c)]
=5*12*13/Sqrt[(5+12+13)(12+13-5)(13+5-12)(5+12-13)]=780/Sqrt(14400)=780/120=6.5 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(0)
