| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| a triangle where all angles are acute | acute triangle |
| a triangle where at least two sides are congruent | isosceles triangle |
| a triangle where all angles are congruent | equiangular triangle |
| a segment whose endpoints are a vertex and the midpoint of the opposite side | median |
| in a triangle, the point of concurrency of the medians. (center of gravity) | centroid |
| in a triangle, the segment connecting the midpoints of two sides | midsegment |
| the circle is inside the triangle and touches each of the 3 sides | inscribed in |
| a triangle where all sides are congruent | equilateral triangle |
| a triangle where one angle is 90 degrees (one right angle) | right triangle |
| a triangle where one of the angles is obtuse | obtuse triangle |
| a triangle where none of the sides are congruent | scalene triangle |
| a triangle is both equilateral and equiangular | regular triangle |
| a line that splits one angle into two congruent angles | angle bisector |
| the perpendicular segment from a vertex to the line containing the opposite side | altitude |
| a line that splits a segment into two congruent segments | perpendicular bisector |
| the point of currency of the perpendicular bisectors of the triangle | circumcenter |
| the point of concurrency of the angle bisectors of a triangle | incenter |
| the point of concurrency of the altitudes of a triangle | orthocenter |
| the circle is around/on the outside of the triangle and contains the triangle vertices | circumscribed about |
| equal distances | equidistant |
| when 3 or more lines intersect in one point | concurrent |
| the point at which 3 or more lines intersect | point of concurrency |
