 Perpendicular Bisector- a line, segment, or ray that passes through the midpoint of the side and is perpendicular to that side  Theorem 5.1  Any point on the perpendicular bisector of a segment is equidistant from the endpoints of the segment.  Theorem 5.2  Any point equidistant from the endpoint s of a segment lies on the perpendicular bisector of the segment

 Concurrent lines- when 3 or more lines intersect at a common point  Point of Concurrency- the point that the concurrent lines intersect at  Circumcenter- the point of concurrency of the perpendicular bisectors of a triangle  Theorem 5-3 Circumcenter Theorem  The circumcenter of a triangle is equidistant from the vertices of a triangle

 Theorem 5.4  Any point on the angle bisector is equidistant from the sides of the angle  Theorem 5.5  Any point equidistant from the sides of an angle lies on the angle bisector  Incenter- the point of concurrency of the angle bisectors of a triangle.  Theorem 5.6 Incenter Theorem  The incenter of a triangle is equidistant from each side of the triangle

 Median- segment whose endpoints are a vertex of a triangle and the midpoint of the side opposite the vertex  Centroid- the point of concurrency for the medians of a triangle.  Theorem 5.7- Centroid Theorem  The centroid of a triangle is located two thirds of the distance from a vertex to the midpoint of the side opposite the vertex on the median

 Altitude- segment from the vertex to the line containing the opposite side and perpendicular to the line containing that side  Orthocenter- the intersection point of the altitudes of a triangle
