    The circum-radius of the triangle whose sides are 13, 12 and 5 is [Karnataka CET 2005]

    A) 15

    B) 13/2

    C) 15/2

    D) 6

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[R=\frac{abc}{4\Delta }\], where \[\Delta =\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}\] \[a=13,b=12,c=5,s=\frac{30}{2}=15\] \[\Delta =\sqrt{15(2)(3)10}=3\times 2\times 5=30\] \[\therefore R=\frac{13\times 12\times 5}{4\times 30}=\frac{13}{2}\].
