correction
orthocenter is where triangle altitudes from vertices meet
since triangle is right triangle altitude from (1,1) and altitude from (-3,4) meet
at (1,4).. Which meets the altitude from (1,4) at (1,4)
which is orthocenter.

the intersection of side bisecting perpendicular lines from the sides of a triangle intersect at circumcenter not orthocenter. The answer provided earlier of (-1,2.5) is the coordinate pair for circumcenter.02/12/23

The coordinates of the vertices of the park are (1, 1), (1, 4), and (−3, 4).02/11/23
