What is the area of the circumcircle of a triangle whose sides are length 6,8 and 10?
let ABC is the tringle
AB=6 BC=8 AND AC=10
AB²+BC²=6²+8²=36+64=100=10²=AC²
⇒AB²+BC²=AC²
So, ABC is a right angle tringle
AC is the diameter of the circumcircle= 10 unit
Radius of the circumcircle= 5 unit
area of the circumcircle= πr²=5²x22/7=25x22/7=550/7=78.571 squnit
