LEQ: What are the properties of concurrent lines and how can we use them in problem solving?
3
When 3 or more lines intersect at one point, they are concurrent. The point in which these lines intersect is called the point of concurrency. Point of concurrency
4
We will learn about 4 different types of points of concurrency: Orthocenter Incenter Centroid circumcenter Each of these is the intersection of different types of lines.
5
Draw a circle and construct 3 points (Q, S, and R) on the circle. Connect the points to make a triangle. As best you can, construct the perpendicular bisectors of each segment (they should intersect). Label the point of intersection “C”. This point is called the “circumcenter” of the triangle. The circle is “circumscribed about” the triangle since Q,R, and S are equidistant from C. QS R C
6
The point of concurrency of the perpendicular bisectors of a triangle is called the circumcenter of the triangle. The circle connecting the vertices is “circumscribed about” the triangle. The circle is “outside” the triangle and each of the vertices is “on” the circle.
7
Circumcenter: Perpendicular bisectors Circle is “circumscribed about”
8
Draw triangle UTV. The best you can, construct the angle bisectors of all three vertices. (these should intersect) Label the point of intersection “I” This point is called the “incenter” of the triangle Drop a perpendicular line from I to each of the 3 sides. Label the points X,Y,Z as shown. Draw a circle connecting these points. The circle is “inscribe in” the triangle. U T V I X Y Z
9
The point of concurrency of the angle bisectors of a triangle is called the “incenter.” This time, the circle was “inscribed in” the triangle. The circle is “inside” the triangle.

Incenter: Angle Bisectors Circle is “inscribed in”

Then grab a laptop and partner and log in.

Theorem 5-6 The perpendicular bisectors of the sides of a triangle are concurrent at a point equidistant from the vertices. Theorem 5-7 The bisectors of the angles of a triangle are concurrent at a point equidistant from the sides. A B C Y YA=YC=YB HF C PHP=PF=PC
13
Circumcenter: Perpendicular bisectors Circle is “circumscribed about” Equidistant to vertices
14
Incenter: Angle Bisectors Circle is “inscribed in” Equidistant to sides of the triangle (must meet at right angles)
