What is a circumcircle of a triangle?
circumcircle of a triangle is the circle that passes through all 3 vertices. this circle is said to be circumscribe the triangle
The shortest distance from the center of the circumscribed circle to the sides of the inscribed triangle is the circles radius?
FALSE
The INCENTER of a triangle is the center of the only circle that can be inscribed inside it?
Of course not! There are an infinite number of smaller circles.
The circle's center must be placed at the incenter of the triangle?
No, there are two circles (incircle, circumcircle) associated with triangles and in general the locations of their centres are different.
What is stronger a triangle or a circle?
Circles are a stronger geometrical shape than a triangle. Circles distribute weight equally which makes it more stable. That is why pot holes are circles.
Is it true or false that in order to circumscribe a circle about a triangle the circles center must be placed at the in-center of the triangle?
It is FALSE.
How do you circumscribe a circle about a triangle?
From the center

Is the shortest distance from the center of the inscribed circle to the triangle sides is the circles?
It is its inradius.
How many circumscribed circles can a triangle have?
A triangle has exactly one circumscribed circle.
