Unit 5- Triangle Graphing Flashcards
Perpendicular Bisector
A segment that intersects a side of a triangle at its midpoint at a right angle
Altitude
A ray with an endpoint on the vertex of a triangle that is perpendicular to the side opposite the vertex
Median
A segment whose endpoints are the vertex of a triangle and the midpoint of the opposite
Centroid
The point of concurrency of the medians of a triangle
Incenter
The point of concurrency of the angle bisectors of a triangle
Orthocenter
The point of concurrency of the altitudes of a triangle
Circumcenter
The point of concurrency of the perpendicular bisectors of a triangle
Concurrent
3 or lines that intersect at 1 point
Midsegment
A segment that connect the midpoints of two sides of the triangle
Angle Bisector of a Triangle
A segment that divides an angle of a triangle into 2 congruent angles
