Meaning of "circumference"

93 Views Asked by At

I have to solve a math problem written in English. The wording is the following :

" In triangle ABC, the angle bisector of angle A intersects line BC at D and the circumference of triangle ABC at E. The external angle-bisector of angle A intersects line BC at F and the circumference of triangle ABC at G. Prove that DG⊥EF. "

I am quite confused regarding the meaning of "circumference". How could an angle bisector intersect the circumference of a triangle?!

So, I am wondering this because I have read that perimeter was a synonym..

Could you please enlighten me? Thanks!

You can draw a circle with a circumference that goes through the three vertices of the triangle, it means this circle.
