| Find the radius of the circumscribed circle of this triangle.
1) First, we find the semiperimeter of an isosceles triangle.
p = (a + b + c) / 2 = (625 + 625 + 350) / 2 = (1250 + 350) / 2 = 1600/2 = 800;
2) Find the area of the triangle using Heron’s formula.
S = √ (p * (p – a) * (p – b) * (p – c)) = √ (800 * (800 – 625) * (800 – 625) * (800 – 350) = √ (800 * 175 * 175 * 450) = 175 * √ (800 * 450) = 175 * 10 * √ (8 * 450) = 175 * 10 * 60 = 175 * 600 = 105000;
3) The radius of the circle is found by the formula:
r = (a * b * c) / (4 * S) = (625 * 625 * 350) / (4 * 105000) = 325.5.
