Step 1). This is a picture of our triangle with its angle measures and side lengths.

Step 2). In this step we had to calculate the coordinates for ther midpoints of two of the sides of the triangle. Then we had to plot those midpoints on our graph. Here is our work. We will have the midpoint shown later in a picture of our final triangle with the circumcenter. Step 3). In this step we had to calculate the slopes of the two sides of the triangle. And then use those slopes to make equations for the perpendicular bisectorsof the two sides of the triangle. Here is our work for that. Step 4). In this step we had to solve the system of equations and then plot that point also. Here is our work for that and the point will be shown on our final triangle. Step 5). In this step we had to use the distance formula to calculate the distances from the circumcenter to the vertices. This demonstrated that we have the correct location for the circumcenter. We then had to plot the circle wth the center at the circumcenter which intersects the three vertices. Here is our work for that. And finally this is our final triangle with the midpoints, perpendicular bisectors, circumcenter, and the circle around the circumcenter.
