  2. Warm Up 1. 2.JK is perpendicular to ML at its midpoint K. List the congruent segments.

  3. Objectives Prove and apply properties of perpendicular bisectors of a triangle. Prove and apply properties of angle bisectors of a triangle.

  4. Vocabulary circumscribed inscribed

  5. Helpful Hint The perpendicular bisector of a side of a triangle does not always pass through the opposite vertex.

  6. COPY THIS SLIDE: When the perpendicular bisectors are constructed in a triangle, the lines from the vertices to the intersection of the perpendicular bisectors are congruent.

  7. COPY THIS SLIDE: The intersection can be inside the triangle, outside the triangle, or on the triangle.

  8. DG, EG, and FG are the perpendicular bisectors of ∆ABC. Find GC. Example 1: Using Properties of Perpendicular Bisectors COPY THIS SLIDE: 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

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

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

  11. Check It Out! Example 1c COPY THIS SLIDE: 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

  12. COPY THIS SLIDE: A triangle has three angles, so it has three angle bisectors. The angle bisectors of a triangle also intersect. The intersection of the angle bisectors is equidistant from the sides of the triangle.

  13. COPY THIS SLIDE: Unlike the intersection of the perpendicular bisectors, the intersection of the angle bisectors is always inside the triangle.

  14. MP and LP are angle bisectors of ∆LMN. Find the distance from P to MN. The distance from P to LM is 5. So the distance from P to MN is also 5. Example 3A: Using Properties of Angle Bisectors COPY THIS SLIDE: 5 P is the intersection of the angle bisectors of ∆LMN. Therefore, P is equidistant from the sides of ∆LMN.

  15. QX and RX are angle bisectors of ΔPQR. Find the distance from X to PQ. The distance from X to PR is 19.2. So the distance from X to PQ is also 19.2. Check It Out! Example 3a X is the incenter of ∆PQR. By the Incenter Theorem, X is equidistant from the sides of ∆PQR.

  16. 1.ED, FD, and GD are the perpendicular bisectors of ∆ABC. Find BD. 2.JP, KP, and HP are angle bisectors of ∆HJK. Find the distance from P to HK. Examples: 17 3
