what is the Circumcenter? It is equidistant from the three vertices
how do you find the circumcenter? Bisect the three sides, the place where they all meet is the circumcenter
what is the incenter? Equidistant from the sides of the triangle
how do you find the incenter? BIsect the tree angles, the place where they all meet is the incenter
what is the orthocenter? where the three altitudes intersect
how do you find the orthocenter? find the three altitudes
on an acute triangle where is the circumcenter? inside
on an obtuse triangle where is the circumcenter? outside
on a right triangle where is the circumcenter? on the hypotenuse
on any triangle where is the incenter? it is always in the inside
what is the median? a line segment from the vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side
what is the centroid? where the three medians intersect
how do you find the centroid? x1+x2+x3 , y1+y2+y3 ̅ ̅ ̅ ̅ ̅ ̅ ̅3 ̅ ̅ ̅ ̅ ̅ ̅ ̅ ̅ ̅ ̅ ̅ ̅3 ̅ ̅ ̅ ̅ ̅ ̅ ̅
what is altitude? a perpendicular line segment from one side to the opposite vertex
where are the altitudes on an acute triangle? all inside

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
