Chapter Five Flashcards
Concurrency of perpendicular bisectors of a triangle
The perpendicular bisectors of a triangle intersect at a point that is equidistant from the verticies of the triangle
Converse of the perpendicular bisectors theorem
In a plane If a point is equidistant from the end points of a segment, then it is on the perpendicular bisector
Perpendicular bisector theorem
In a plane if a point is on the perpendicular bisector of a segment the it is equidistant from the end points of the segment
Mid segment theorem
The segments connecting the midpoints of the two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and is half as long as that side
Angle bisector theorem
If a point is on the bisector of an angle then it is equidistant from the two sides of the angle (the ones at 90)
Converse of the angle bisector
If a point is in the interior of an angle and is equidistant from the sides of the angle then it lies on the bisector of an angle
Concurrency of angle bisectors of a triangle
The angle bisectors of a triangle intersect at a point that is equidistant from the sides of a triangle
(Three lines with the 90 degrees)
Concurrency of medians of a triangle
The medians of a triangle intersect at a point that is 2/3 of the distant from each vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side
Concurrency of altitudes of a triangle
The lines connecting the altitudes of a triangle are concurrent
Altitude
A perpendicular line segment connecting a side to its opposite vertex
Centroid
The point where all three medians intersect
Circumcenter
The point where all perpendicular bisectors intersect
Incenter
The point where all angle bisectors intersect
Median
A segment from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side
Orthocenter
The point where all three altitudes intersect
