1 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
