  1. Chapter 5Perpendicular Bisectors

  2. Perpendicular bisector • A segment, rayor line that is perpendicular to a segment at its midpoint

  3. Perpendicular bisector theorem • If a point is on the perpendicular bisector of a segment, then it is equidistant from the endpoints of the segment.

  4. C P A B Creates an isosceles triangle!

  5. Examples Non-Examples

  6. Perpendicular bisector of a triangle • A line, ray, or segment that is perpendicular to a side of the triangle at the midpoint of the side.

  7. Perpendicular Bisector

  8. Concurrent lines • When three or mores lines (rays or segments) intersect in the same point Point of concurrency • The point of the intersection of the lines

  9. Circumcenter • Point of concurrency of the perpendicular bisectors of the triangle.

  10. Circumcenter: • Is inside an acute triangle Circumcenter!

  11. Is on a right triangle Circumcenter!

  12. Is outside an obtuse triangle Circumcenter!

  13. Acute - Inside Right - On Obtuse - Outside

  14. Perpendicular bisector formula • Circumcenter to vertices is equal distance.
