Circumcenter
Circumference
Th circumcenter can be INSIDE, OUTSIDE, or ON the triangle, depending
on what type of triangle.  Match the type of triangle with its correct
circumcenter location.
ON = 
Right ∆

For what type of triangle does the circumcenter fall outside
the sides of the triangle?
Acute triangle
Obtuse triangle
Right triangle
Equilateral triangle
