The nine-point circle of a triangle passes through:

Answer: Midpoints of sides, feet of altitudes, and midpoints of vertex-to-orthocenter segments.

  • A Midpoints of the three sides alone, excluding any other special points
  • B Feet of the three altitudes alone, excluding the side midpoints
  • C Midpoints of sides, feet of altitudes, and midpoints of vertex-to-orthocenter segments
  • D The circumcentre and the incentre of the triangle, and nothing else besides those two points

Correct answer: C. Midpoints of sides, feet of altitudes, and midpoints of vertex-to-orthocenter segments

Explanation: Nine-point circle: passes through 9 notable points -- 3 midpoints of sides, 3 feet of altitudes, and 3 midpoints of segments from vertices to orthocenter.

Three standard 3D solids and their key formulas: a cylinder's volume scales with the full height, a cone's volume is exactly one-third of the cylinder with the same base and height, and a sphere's volume and surface area both follow distinct r-based formulas worth memorising separately.

Perimeters, areas, and volumes of 2D and 3D shapes
