5.2 Bisectors of a Triangle Concurrent lines CircumcenterIncenter
2
Definition of a Perpendicular bisector of a triangle A Perpendicular bisector of a triangle is a perpendicular bisector of a side of a triangle.
3
Definition of Circumcenter Concurrent lines are three of more lines that intersect at one point. When a point is made from perpendicular bisectors it is called the Circumcenter. The Circumcenter is A point of Concurrency from concurrent lines.
4
Definition of Circumcenter When the triangle is acute
5
Definition of Circumcenter When the triangle is Obtuse
6
The Circumcenter can be found by folding
7
Definition of Circumcenter When the triangle is a Right triangle. Where is the Circumcenter
8
Definition of Circumcenter When the triangle is a Right triangle. Where is the Circumcenter At the midpoint of the hypotenuse.
9
A Theorem about the Circumcenter The circumcenter of a triangle is an equal distance from the vertices of the triangle. Why is the triangle in a circle?
10
Definition of the Angle bisector of a Triangle The angle bisector of a triangle is the bisector of each angle. The bisectors of the triangle are concurrent rays, meet at a point of concurrency called the incenter.
11
Definition of Incenter Incenter is the point of concurrency of the angle bisectors of a triangle.
12
Theorem about the Incenter The incenter of a triangle is an equal distance from the sides of the triangle.
13
The incenter is always inside the triangle Obtuse Right
