Center's of triangle's Flashcards
1
Q
Incenter (I)
A
- Made by intersection of 3 Angle bisectors
- always inside triangle
- equidistant to each side
-property: the incenter of a triangle is equidistant from the sides of the triangle.
2
Q
Centroid (R)
A
- made by intersecting 3 medians of a triangle
- inside triangle
- the long side will be twice the value of the short
segment - property:the centroid of a triangle is 2 thirds of the distance from each vertex to the midpt. Of the opposite side.
3
Q
Circumcenter (p)
A
- made by 3 perpendicular bisectors
Property: the circumcenter of a triangle is equidistant from the vertices of the triangles
4
Q
Orthocenter (O)
A
- made by Intersecting three altitudes
- property: the lines containing the attitudes of a triangle are concurrent at the orthocenter (O)
