The circumcenter of the triangle is at the coordinates (2,1). To find this, we can outline the triangle based on the coordinates of points A (-1,5), B (-1,-3), and C (5,-3). Utilizing the distance formula helps us confirm that the triangle satisfies Pythagoras' theorem, hence it is a right triangle. In a right triangle, the circumcenter is located at the midpoint of the hypotenuse, which is determined to be (2,1).

HJ is 4.0 and JE is 4. Here's a detailed explanation: It's mentioned that H is the midpoint of GE and J is the midpoint of FE. According to the midpoint theorem, the line segment that connects the midpoints of two sides is parallel to the third side and is half its length. As JH connects these midpoints, HJ = 1/2 (GF) and therefore the calculations show that HJ equals 8 and JE equals 4.
