1 5-2 Medians and Altitudes of Triangles
Vocab: Median: A segment with endpoints being a vertex of a triangle and the midpoint of the opposite side Centroid: The point of concurrency of the medians of a triangle Altitude: A segment from a vertex of a triangle to the line containing the opposite side and perpendicular to the line containing the side Orthocenter: The point of concurrency of the altitudes of a triangle Incenter: The point in a triangle equidistant from each side

2 Identifying Medians and Altitudes
Ex 1: Identify a median and an altitude

3 The Centroid Theorem The centroid is 2/3 of the distance from each vertex to the midpoint on the opposite side Ex 2: In △ABC, U is the centroid and BU = 16. Find UK and BK.

4 Using the Centroid Theorem
Ex 3: In △ABC, AU = 16, BU = 12, and CF = 18. Find each interior measure.
