1
Bisectors in Triangles Concurrency of Perpendicular Bisector Theorem If the perpendicular bisectors PX, PY and PZ are concurrent at P, then PA = PC = PB The point P is called the circumcenter of the triangle.
2
Proof P is on n, perpendicular to AB, so PA = PB P is on m, perpendicular to BC, so PB = PC Hence PA = PB = PC
3
The circle is circumscribed about the triangle.
4
The circumcenter may not always be inside the triangle.
5
Concurrency of Angle Bisector Theorem If the angle bisectors PA, PB and PC are concurrent at P, then PX = PY = PZ The point P is called the incenter of the triangle.
6
The circle is inscribed in the triangle.
