  8. Triangle Midsegment Theorem A segment whose endpoints are the midpoints of two sides of the triangle Midsegment Base Midsegment = ½ of Base M = ½ b

  18. Your Turn: Using Triangle Midsegment Theorem • In the diagram, PQ is a midsegment of  LMN. Find the values of x and y.

  19. Using Midsegments of a Triangle Given: DE = x + 2; BC = Find DE

  20. Using Properties of Midsegments are midsegments in XYZ. Find the perimeter of XYZ.

  21. Using Properties of Midsegments Given: X, Y, and Z are the midpoints of AB, BC, and AC respectively. AX = 2; XY = 3; BC = 9 Find the perimeter of ABC.

  22. Theorem 5-1: Triangle Midsegment TheoremIf a segment joins the midpoints of two sides of a triangle, then the segment is parallel to the third side, and is half its length Example 1: Finding Lengths In XYZ, M, N and P are the midpoints. The Perimeter of MNP is 60. Find NP and YZ. Because the perimeter is 60, you can find NP. NP + MN + MP = 60 (Definition of Perimeter) NP + + = 60 NP + = 60 NP = x 24 M P 22 Y Z N

  27. 5.2 Bisectors in Triangles

  28. Perpendicular Bisectors A Perpendicular bisector of a side does not have to start at a vertex. It will form a 90° anglesand bisect the side. Circumcenter

  29. When three or more lines intersect at one point, the lines are said to be concurrent.

  30. The circumcenter of ΔABC is the center of its circumscribed circle. A circle that contains all the vertices of a polygon is circumscribed about the polygon.

  31. The incenter is the center of the triangle’s inscribed circle. A circle inscribedin a polygon intersects each line that contains a side of the polygon at exactly one point.

  32. The circumcenter can be inside the triangle, outside the triangle, or on the triangle.

  33. Example 1: Using Properties of Perpendicular Bisectors DG, EG, and FG are the perpendicular bisectors of ∆ABC. Find GC. G is the circumcenter of ∆ABC. By the Circumcenter Theorem, G is equidistant from the vertices of ∆ABC. GC = CB Circumcenter Thm. Substitute 13.4 for GB. GC = 13.4

  34. Check It Out! Example 1a Use the diagram. Find GM. MZ is a perpendicular bisector of ∆GHJ. GM = MJ Circumcenter Thm. Substitute 14.5 for MJ. GM = 14.5

  35. Check It Out! Example 1b Use the diagram. Find GK. KZ is a perpendicular bisector of ∆GHJ. GK = KH Circumcenter Thm. Substitute 18.6 for KH. GK = 18.6

  36. Check It Out! Example 1c Use the diagram. Find JZ. Z is the circumcenter of ∆GHJ. By the Circumcenter Theorem, Z is equidistant from the vertices of ∆GHJ. JZ = GZ Circumcenter Thm. Substitute 19.9 for GZ. JZ = 19.9

  37. Example 2: Finding the Circumcenter of a Triangle Find the circumcenter of ∆HJK with vertices H(0, 0), J(10, 0), and K(0, 6). Step 1 Graph the triangle.

  38. Example 2 Continued Step 2 Find equations for two perpendicular bisectors. Since two sides of the triangle lie along the axes, use the graph to find the perpendicular bisectors of these two sides. The perpendicular bisector of HJ is x = 5, and the perpendicular bisector of HK is y = 3.

  39. Example 2 Continued Step 3 Find the intersection of the two equations. The lines x = 5 and y = 3 intersect at (5, 3), the circumcenter of ∆HJK.

  40. Check It Out! Example 2 Find the circumcenter of ∆GOH with vertices G(0, –9), O(0, 0), and H(8, 0) . Step 1 Graph the triangle.

  41. Check It Out! Example 2 Continued Step 2 Find equations for two perpendicular bisectors. Since two sides of the triangle lie along the axes, use the graph to find the perpendicular bisectors of these two sides. The perpendicular bisector of GO is y = –4.5, and the perpendicular bisector of OH is x = 4.

  42. Check It Out! Example 2 Continued Step 3 Find the intersection of the two equations. The lines x = 4 and y = –4.5 intersect at (4, –4.5), the circumcenter of ∆GOH.

  43. A triangle has three angles, so it has three angle bisectors. The angle bisectors of a triangle are also concurrent. This point of concurrency is the incenter of the triangle.

  44. Key Concepts The distance from a point to a line is the length of the perpendicular segment from the point to the line. Example: D is 3 in. from line AB and line AC C D 3 A B
