Math Flashcards
Median
A segment from one vertex of the triangle to the midpoint of the opposite side
Orthocenter
The point at which the lines containing the three altitudes of the triangle intersect
Perpendicular bisector
A segment, ray, line, or plane that is perpendicular to a segment at its midpoint
Point of concurrency
The point of intersection of conurrent lines rays or segments
Incenter
The point of concurrency of the three angle bisectors of the triangle
Circumcenter
The point of concurrency of three perpendicular bisectors of the triangle
Altitude
The perpendicular segment from one vertex of the triangle to the opposite side or to the line that contains the opposite side.
Midsegment
A segment that connects the midpoints of two sides of the triangle.
Centroid
The point of concurrency of the three medians of the triangle
