B Correct answer
Explanation

In triangle ABC, angle C = 180 - 80 - 55 = 45 degrees. The circumcenter O satisfies angle BOC = 2 * angle A = 160 degrees. In triangle BOC, OB = OC, so angle OCB = (180 - 160) / 2 = 10 degrees.

A Correct answer
Explanation

The distance from the orthocenter (0,0) to the circumcenter (1/2, -1/2) is the Euler line segment. The distance between these points is sqrt((1/2)^2 + (-1/2)^2) = sqrt(1/2). In any triangle, the distance from the circumcenter to a side is R*cos(A). Given the geometry and the line equation, the radius R is calculated as sqrt(5/2).

A Correct answer
Explanation

The center of the circle (h, k) must lie on a line perpendicular to the chord 5x + 2y = 16. The slope of the chord is -5/2, so the slope of the line through the center and the midpoint (2, 3) is 2/5. The equation is y - 3 = (2/5)(x - 2), which simplifies to 5y - 15 = 2x - 4, or 2x - 5y + 11 = 0.
