Question | Answer |
---|---|
median | a segment joining a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side |
centroid | the point where 3 medians of a triangle intersect |
what special properties do each median have in centroid | Big= 2/3 median Small= 1/3 median Big= 2x small Small= 1/2 big |
perpendicular bisector theorem | if a point lies on the perpendicular bisector then, it's equidistant from the endpoints of the segment |
converse of the perpendicular bisector theorem | if its equidistant from the end segments, then is a perpendicular bisector |
angle bisector theorem | the point is equidistant from the sides of the angle (segments) |
converse of the angle bisector theorem | if a point is on the interior of an angle and equidistant from the side of the angle, then the point is on the angle bisector |
circumcenter | the point where perpendicular bisectors of the side of a triangle intersect |
whats equal on the circumcenter | the non right angle segments and the sides (perpendicular bisectors) |
incenter | the point where the angle bisectors of the angles of a triangle intersect |
whats equal in the incenter | right angle segments two sides opposite from each other (think of isosocles) |
what is the circumcenter created by | perpendicular bisectors |
where is the circumcenter in acute triangles | inside |
where is the circumcenter in obtuse triangles | outside |
where is the circumcenter in right triangles | on |
what is the incenter created by | angle bisectors |
where is the incenter on triangles | always inside |
what is the centroid created by | medians |
where is the centroid on triangles | always inside |
what is the orthocenter created by | altitudes |
where is the orthocenter on acute triangles | inside |
where is the orthocenter on obtuse triangles | outside |
where is the orthocenter on right triangles | on |
