When three or more lines intersect at one point, the lines are said to be concurrent. The point of concurrency is the point where they
intersect. In the construction, you saw that the three perpendicular bisectors of a triangle are
concurrent. This point of concurrency is the circumcenter of the triangle.

Circumcenter Theorem
Given: Line l , m, and n are the
perpendicular bisector of AB, BC, and AC, respectively. Prove: PA = PB = PCProof: P is the circumcenter of ABC. Since P lies on the perpendicular bisector of AB, PA = PB by the Perpendicular Bisector Theorem. Similarly, P also lies on the perpendicular bisector of BC, so PB = PC. Therefore PA = PB = PC by the Transitive Property of Equality.

So the distance from V to KL is also 7.3

m/ kJL = 2m / VJL
m/ kJL = 2(19˚) = 38˚
m/ kJL + m/ JLK + m/ JKL = 180˚
38 + 106 + m/ JKL = 180˚
m/ JKL = 36˚
m/ Vkl = ½ m/ JKL
m/ Vkl = ½ (36˚) = 18˚
JV is the bisector of m/ kJL. Substitute 19˚ for m / VJL. ∆ sum Thm.
Substitute 36˚ for m/ JKL.
Substitute the given values. Subtract 144˚ from both sides.
KV is the bisector of m/ JKL

The city of Odessa will host a fireworks display for the next Fourth of July celebration. Draw a sketch to show where the display should be positioned so that it is the same distance from all three viewing location A, B, and C on the map. Justify your sketch.
Let the three viewing locations be vertices of a triangle. By the Circumcenter Theorem, the circumcenter of the triangle is equidistant from the vertices.

Trace the map. Draw the triangle formed by the viewing locations. To find the circumcenter, find the perpendicular bisectors of each side. The position of the display is the circumcenter, F.
