Let us calculate the area of a circular region circumscribe a triangle of which sides are 3 cm, 4 cm and 5 cm.




By the pythagoras theorem,


32 + 42 = 9+16 = 25


And 52 = 25


The given triangle forms a right angled triangle


BC will act as the diameter of the circumcircle centered at O.


Diameter = 5 cm


Radius = 2.5 cm


Area of a circle = πr2


Area of the circumcircle


Area of circumcircle = 19.64 cm2
