Grade 10 Academic (MPM2D) Unit 2: Analytic Geometry Perpendicular Bisector & Circumcentre Mr. Choi © 2017 E. Choi – MPM2D - All Rights Reserved

Properties of Triangles Medians: line from vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side Midpoint: point on a line that divides it into 2 equal parts to draw a median  find mid point of opposite side and connect to vertex Altitude: shows the height of a polygon to draw an altitude  line from vertex to opposite side so that it meets at 90° Perpendicular bisectors: perpendicular to a line segment and meets at its midpoint. to draw a perpendicular bisector  find midpoint, then measure a right angle, draw line.   Angle bisectors: The (interior) bisector of an angle, also called the internal angle bisector is the line or line segment that divides the angle into two equal parts  Centroid: where all 3 medians meet divides each median in the ratio 1: 2 it is the centre of mass Orthocentre: where all 3 altitudes meet Circumcentre: where all 3 perpendicular bisectors meet centre of the circle that passes through the vertices of the triangle the circle is called circumcircle or circumscribed circle Incentre: where all 3 angle bisectors meet centre of the circle that meets each side once the circle is called incircle or inscribed circle Perpendicular Bisector & Circumcentre © 2017 E.

Perpendicular Bisector & Circumcentre Perpendicular bisectors: perpendicular to a line segment and meets at its midpoint. to draw a perpendicular bisector  find midpoint, then measure a right angle, draw line. Circumcentre: where all 3 perpendicular bisectors meet centre of the circle that passes through the vertices of the triangle the circle is called circumcircle or circumscribed circle perpendicular bisector circumcentre circumcircle Perpendicular Bisector & Circumcentre © 2017 E.

Continued: Point of Intersection (Circumcentre) Prove that the perpendicular bisectors of a triangle pass through the same point. By method of comparison with equation 1 and 2, find the point of intersection and check with all three equations. Verify that all perpendicular bisectors intersect at the same point. Recall: Let (1) = (2) F (3, 3) E (0, -1) D (4, -2) Perpendicular Bisector & Circumcentre © 2017 E. Choi – MPM2D - All Rights Reserved

Continued: Point of Intersection (Circumcentre) Prove that the perpendicular bisectors of a triangle pass through the same point. Check by substitute Recall: F (3, 3) E (0, -1) Therefore all 3 perpendicular bisectors intersect at the same point  Circumcentre: D (4, -2) Perpendicular Bisector & Circumcentre © 2017 E.
