The incentre of an equilateral triangle is (1,1) and the equation of ene side is \(3 x+4 y+3=0 .\) Then, the equation of the circumeircle of the triangle is

  1. A \(x^{2}+y^{2}-2 x-2 y-2=0\)
  2. B \(x^{2}+y^{2}-2 x-2 y-14=0\)
  3. C \(x^{2}+y^{2}-2 x-2 y+2=0\)
  4. D \(x^{2}+y^{2}-2 x-2 y+14=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(x^{2}+y^{2}-2 x-2 y-14=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

since, triangle is equilateral the refore incentre (1,1) lies on the centroid of the \(\Delta A B C\). \(\therefore G D=\) Length of perpendicular from the point \(G(1,1)\) to the line \(3 x+4 y+3=0\) \(A G=2 G D=4\) \(\therefore\) Equation of circumcircle with centre at (1,1)…
