Triangle Segments

Special segments of a triangle, points of intersection, inequalities of triangle

Vocab wordDefinition
Angle bisector splits an angle into congruent parts
Perpendicular bisector splits a segment at its midpoint perpendicularly
Median a segment that connects a vertex of a triangle to the midpoint of the opposite side
Altitude a segment of a triangle that goes from a vertex perpendicularly to the opposite side
Midsegment a segment in a triangle that connects two midpoints
Midpoint a point in the middle of a segment that cuts it into two congruent parts
Orthocenter the point of intersection of the altitudes
Circumcenter the point of intersection of the perpendicular bisector
Incenter the point of intersection of the angle bisectors
Centroid the point of intersection of the medians
Center of inscribed circle Incenter
Center of circumscribed circle Circumcenter
2/3 the distance from vertex to midpoint Centroid
Equidistant from the sides of a triangle Incenter
Equidistant from the vertices of the triangle Circumcenter
Triangle Inequality Theorem Two sides of a triangle must add up to be bigger than the third side
Largest side of a triangle Opposite the largest angle
Smallest side of a triangle Opposite the smalled angle
Largest angle of a triangle Opposite the largest side
Smallest angle of a triangle Opposite the smallest side
Hinge Theorem If 2 sides of 2 triangles are congruent and the included angle of the first is bigger, then the third side of the first is bigger
Hinge Theorem Converse If 2 sides of 2 triangles are congruent and the third side of the first is bigger, then the included angle of the first is bigger
Direct Proof Using properties, definitions, postulates and theorems to prove something directly
Indirect Proof Temporarily assuming the opposite of what you are trying to prove to reach a contradiction

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.
