Question

select the correct answer.
quadrilateral bcde is inscribed in circle a as shown. \\(\boldsymbol{bd}\\) divides the quadrilateral into two triangles, \\(\triangle bcd\\) and \\(\triangle bed\\). which statement is true about the triangles?
\\(\bigcirc\\) a. the angle bisectors and the perpendicular bisectors for both triangles intersect at the same point.
\\(\bigcirc\\) b. the angle bisectors of \\(\triangle bcd\\) intersect at the same point as those of \\(\triangle bed\\)
\\(\bigcirc\\) c. the perpendicular bisectors of \\(\triangle bcd\\) intersect at the same point as those of \\(\triangle bed\\).
\\(\bigcirc\\) d. the angle bisectors of \\(\triangle bcd\\) intersect at the same point as the perpendicular bisectors of \\(\triangle bed\\).

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The perpendicular bisectors of any triangle inscribed in a circle intersect at the circle's center (the circumcenter). Since both $\triangle BCD$ and $\triangle BED$ are inscribed in circle $A$, their perpendicular bisectors all intersect at point $A$, the center of the circle. Angle bisectors intersect at the incenter, which is unique to each triangle and not the same point here, eliminating the other options.

Answer:

C. The perpendicular bisectors of $\triangle BCD$ intersect at the same point as those of $\triangle BED$.
