“Special Lines in a Triangle” by Triangle Head. A perpendicular bisector is a line found in a triangle. It cuts the side into two equal parts. And because it's perpendicular it makes two right angles. r. And if you draw all three of them. r. Then you'll notice that they intersect. r.

There are special lines in a triangle And each one of them has a special center Perpendicular and angle bisectors The medians and the altitudes 2b c 2a a b 2c
An angle bisector cuts an angle in two And if you draw all three then they will intersect too This center has a name yea it's the incenter Don't worry if it's hard 'cause it will get easier INCENTER
The medians all start at a different vertex And to the opposite midpoint they do connect At the point of intersection is the centroid That's the third type of center yea now we are overjoyed 2c b a 2a c CENTROID 2b

An altitude is a line that you draw From the vertex to the side opposite It makes right angles, it's perpendicular And where they intersect's the orthocenter ORTHOCENTER
