Chapter 5 Flashcards
Perpendicular bisector converse
If a point is equidistant from the end points if a segment, then it lies on the perpendicular bisector of the segment
Perpendicular bisector theorem
Of a point is on the perpendicular bisector of a segment, then it is equidistant from the end pts of the segment
Angle bisector theorem
If a point is on the bisector of an angle, the. It is equidistant from the two sides of the angle
Angle bisector converse
If a point is in the interior of an angle and equidistant from the two sides of an angle, then It lies on the bisector of the angle
Median of a triangle
Segment whose end pts are a vertex and the midpt of the opposite side
Common point of angle bisector a of triangle
Incenter
Common point of perpendicular bisectors of triangle
Circumcenter
Common point of medians of triangle
Centroid
Common point if altitudes of triangle
Orthodontist
Mid segment
Segment that connects the midpoints of two sides of a triangle
Mid segment theorem
Segment connecting the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and is half it’s length
If on side of a triangle is longer than another side…
Then the angle opposite the longer side is larger than the angle opposite the shorter
If one angle of a triangle is larger than another angle..
Then the side opposite the larger angle is longer than the side opposite the smaller angle is shorter
Triangle inequality theorem
The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is larger than the length of the third side
Hinge theorem
If two sides of one triangle are congruent to two sides of another triangle, and the included angle of the first is larger than the included angle of the second, then the third side of the first is longer than the third side of the second
