The sides are\mathrm{x + y - 4 = 0, x - 1 = 0, y - 2 = 0.} So, the triangle is right angled at (1, 2). 

The hypotenuse is\mathrm{x + y - 4 = 0} whose ends are (1, 3) and (2, 2). 

The circumcentre =\left(\frac{1+2}{2}, \frac{3+2}{2}\right) and

circumradius =\frac{1}{2} \sqrt{(1-2)^2+(3-2)^2}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}
