Re: circular triangle
Hi ahmedulkavi
It is simply 2.5
3-4-5 is a right angle triangle and in a right angle triangle, mid-point of hypotenuse is equidistant from all the three vertices. That means if you draw a circle by taking mid-point of hypotenuse as center then it'll pass through all the three vertices of the triangle.
Hope this is clear.
