Question

The circumscribed circle is:
A) Outside polygon
B) Inside polygon
C) Inside circle
D) Outside circle

Answer 1

Hint: The circumscribed circle or circumcircle of a polygon is a circle that passes through all the vertices of the polygon. The centre of this circle is called the circumcenter and its radius is called the circumradius.

Complete step by step solution: For e.g., Circumscribed circles of a triangle a polygon, a square, a rectangle, are the circles passes through all the vertices of the polygon.
The centre of the circumscribed circle is the circumcentre of the circle lies outside the polygon.

Hence option (A) i.e. outside polygon is correct.

Note: We can draw the circumscribed circle of any polygon by passing through all its vertices.
For e.g.

and so on, where O is the circumcenter.
