    Two vertices of a triangle are (0,2) and (4,3). If its orthocentre is at the origin, then its third vertex lies in which quadrant?

    The radical centre of three circles described on the three sides of a triangle as diameter is the 

     

     

    Let the position vectors of the vertices $\mathrm{A}, \mathrm{B}$ and $\mathrm{C}$ of a triangle be $2 \hat{\imath}+2 \hat{\jmath}+\hat{k}, \hat{\imath}+2 \hat{\jmath}+2 \hat{k}$ and $2 \hat{\imath}+\hat{\jmath}+2 \hat{k}$ respectively. Let $\ell_1, \ell_2$ and $\ell_3$ be the lengths of perpendiculars drawn from the ortho center of the triangle on the sides $\mathrm{AB}, \mathrm{BC}$ and $\mathrm{CA}$ respectively, then $\ell_1^2+\ell_2^2+\ell_3^2$ equals:

    Circumcentre and Orthocentre

    Circumcentre

    Perpendicular bisector of a side of a triabgle is the line through the midpoint of a side and perpendicular to it.  

    The Circumcentre (O) of a triangle is the point of intersection of the perpendicular bisectors of the sides of a triangle.

    Circumcentre is also defined as the center of a circle that passes through the vertices of a given triangle.

    Coordinates of Circumcentre $(0)$ is

    $
    \left(\frac{\mathrm{x}_1 \sin 2 \mathrm{~A}+\mathrm{x}_2 \sin 2 \mathrm{~B}+\mathrm{x}_3 \sin 2 \mathrm{C}}{\sin 2 \mathrm{~A}+\sin 2 \mathrm{~B}+\sin 2 \mathrm{C}}, \frac{\mathrm{y}_1 \sin 2 \mathrm{~A}+\mathrm{y}_2 \sin 2 \mathrm{~B}+\mathrm{y}_3 \sin 2 \mathrm{C}}{\sin 2 \mathrm{~A}+\sin 2 \mathrm{~B}+\sin 2 \mathrm{C}}\right)
    $

    Orthocentre:

    The Orthocentre (H) of a triangle is the point of intersection of altitudes which are drawn from one vertex to the opposite side of a triangle. 

    Coordinates of Orthocentre (H) is

    $
    \left(\frac{\mathbf{x}_{\mathbf{1}} \tan \mathbf{A}+\mathbf{x}_2 \tan \mathbf{B}+\mathbf{x}_{\mathbf{3}} \tan \mathbf{C}}{\tan \mathbf{A}+\tan \mathbf{B}+\tan \mathbf{C}}, \frac{\mathbf{y}_{\mathbf{1}} \tan \mathbf{A}+\mathbf{y}_{\mathbf{2}} \tan \mathbf{B}+\mathbf{y}_{\mathbf{3}} \tan \mathbf{C}}{\tan \mathbf{A}+\tan \mathbf{B}+\tan \mathbf{C}}\right)
    $
    Note:
    For a right angled triangle, the orthocenter is the vertex containing the right angle
