It is the circumcentre, the unique point from which you can draw a circle (the circumscribed circle) which passes through all three vertices.

Can the angle bisector of a triangle also be the perpendicular bisector?
Yes. The bisector of one angle of a triangle is the perpendicular bisector of theopposite side if the bisected angle is the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle,or any angle of an equilateral triangle.
Is the angle bisector of a scalene triangle ever intersect at a single point?
never
What does a perpendicular bisector cut of a triangle into two congruent parts?
side
Which types of triangles must always have at least one angle bisector that is also a perpendicular bisector?
iscoceles triangle! =)
Is this True or false the angle bisector of the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle is also the perpendicular bisector of the base?
True
Is the three perpendicular bisector of a triangle intersect at a point in the exterior of the triangle true or false?
The three ANGLE bisectors of a triangle also bisect the sides, and intersect at a point INSIDE the triangle. The angle bisectors are not necessarily perpendicular to them. The perpendicular bisectors of the sides can intersect in a point either inside or outside the triangle, depending on the shape of the triangle.
Which best describes the circumcenter of a triangle?
The point where the perpendicular bisectors of the three sides of the triangle intersect
Can the angle bisector of a triangle also be the perpendicular bisector?
Yes. The bisector of one angle of a triangle is the perpendicular bisector of theopposite side if the bisected angle is the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle,or any angle of an equilateral triangle.
Perpendicular bisector of a triangle?
Is a line that bisects a side of a triangle and is perpendicular to that side.
Which term describes the point where the perpendicular bisectors of the three sides of a triangle intersect?
Circumcenter
How does the perpendicular bisector affect the vertex angle of an isoceles triangle?
The perpendicular bisector bisects the angle at the vertex.
Do the perpendicular bisectors of a triangle always sometimes or never intersect on the triangle?
The perpendicular bisectors only intersect on the triangle when it is an isosceles right triangle.
Will an angle bisector ever intersect outside the triangle?
No.
Is the altitude of a triangle always the perpendicular bisector?
No.
Is a perpendicular bisector always an angle bisector?
thank goodness for my math teacher, norm! he said only in an isosceles triangle. The bisector of the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle is perpendicular to the base! =)
Could the median of a triangle be the perpendicular bisector?
Yes in equilateral triangle.
What triangle must always have at least one angle bisector that is also a perpendicular bisector?
any isosceles triangle
