Polygons, Centroids & Circumcentres!

Geometry Level 3

X X is a polygon with n [ 3 ] n [\geq3] sides. The centroid and the circumcentre of X X happens to be the same point. Read the following statements about X X

[ 1 ] [1] . If n = 3 n=3 , then X X is a regular polygon.

[ 2 ] [2] If n = 4 n=4 , then X X is not necessarily a regular polygon.

[ 3 ] [3] . X X is a regular polygon whenever n 4 n\neq 4 .

Which of these statements are correct?


This problem is from the set "MCQ Is Not As Easy As 1-2-3". You can see the rest of the problems here .

[ 1 ] [1] and [ 3 ] [3] Only [ 1 ] [1] [ 1 ] [1] and [ 2 ] [2] All of them are correct.

A polygon having odd number of sides and whose centroid and circumcentre coincident is always a regular polygon. A polygon having even number of sides and whose centroid and circumcentre coincident may or may not be a regular polygon. for example, square and rhombus have their centroid and circumcentre coincident but square is regular polygon and rhombus is not.

Here it must be given that all sides are Equal, otherwise all are false.

It suppose to be wrong, because thre's no given that all sides of this polygon are equal
