2. a. Draw any acute Draw the perpendicular bisector of each side of the triangle. They should intersect in one point. Measure the distance from this point of intersection to each of the vertices of the triangle. What do you notice?
b. repeat using an obtuse triangle and a right triangle. Is the same result true for these triangles as well?
c. In a right triangle, the perpendicular bisectors of the sides intersect in what point?
