5-2Bisectors in Triangles There are 4 main types of bisectors: medians, altitudes, angle bisectors, & perpendicular bisector.
The centroid is the point where the 3 medians all meet. The incenter is the point where the 3 angle bisectors all meet. CICOPAMA The circumcenter is the point where the 3 perpendicular bisectors all meet. The orthocenter is the point where the 3 altitudes all meet.
Theorems Midsegment Theorem: The midsegment is parallel to the 3rd side & is ½ it’s length. Perpendicular Bisector Theorem: A point on the perpendicular bisector is equidistant from the endpoints of the segment. Angle Bisector Theorem: A point on the angle bisector is equidistant from the sides of an angle. The perpendicular bisectors of the sides of a triangle are concurrent at a point equidistant from the vertices. The bisectors of the angles of a triangle are concurrent at a point equidistant from the sides. the medians of a triangle are concurrent at a point that’s 2/3 the distance from each vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. The lines that contain the altitudes of a triangle are concurrent. If 2 sides of a triangle aren’t congruent, then the larger angle lies opposite of the longer side. If 2 angles of a triangle aren’t congruent, then the longer side lies opposite of the larger angle. The sum of the lengths of any 2 sides must be greater than the length of the 3rd side.
