Brain Strain Find the value of x. x x x x x
Median Median Connect the vertex to the opposite side's midpoint
Altitude Altitude Connect the vertex to opposite side and is perpendicular
Tell whether each red segment is an altitude of the triangle. The altitude is the “true height” of the triangle.
Perpendicular Bisector Perpendicular Bisector Go through a side's midpoint and is perpendicular
Tell whether each red segment is an perpendicular bisector of the triangle.
Angle Bisector Angle Bisector When the angle is cut into 2 congruent parts
Drill & Practice Indicate which special triangle segment the red line is based on the picture and markings

The intersection of the angle bisectors is called the INCENTER. Equidistant to the sides
The intersection of the altitudes is called the ORTHOCENTER.
The intersection of the medians is called the CENTROID. Vertex to Centroid is Twice as Long as Centroid to Midpoint
The intersection of the perpendicular bisector is called the CIRCUMCENTER. Equidistant to the vertices

Ex: 1 In ABC, AN, BP, and CM are medians. C If EM = 3, find EC. N P E B M A
Ex: 2 In ABC, AN, BP, and CM are medians. C If EN = 12, find AN. N P E B M A
