  1. 5.3 Concurrent Lines, Medians, and Altitudes Chapter 5 Relationships Within Triangles

  2. 5.3 Concurrent Lines, Medians, and Altitudes • Concurrent: When three or more lines intersect in one point • Point of concurrency: The point where three or more lines intersect

  3. 5.3 Concurrent Lines, Medians, and Altitudes • Theorem 5-6 The perpendicular bisectors of the sides of a triangle are concurrent at a point equidistant from the vertices • Theorem 5-7 The bisectors of the angles of a triangle are concurrent at a point equidistant from the sides

  4. Circumcenter • Circumcenter of the triangle: The point of concurrency of the perpendicular bisectors • Points Q, R, and S are equidistant from C, the circumcenter • The circle is circumscribed about the triangle S C R Q Perpendicular Bisectors

  5. Incenter • The incenter of the triangle is the point of concurrency of the angle bisectors • Points X, Y, and Z are equidistant from I, the incenter. • The circle is inscribed in the triangle T Y Angle Bisector I X V U Z

  6. Median of a Triangle • The median of a triangle is a segment that goes from the vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side.

  7. Theorem 5-8 • The medians of a triangle are concurrent at a point that is two third the distance from each vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side 8 3 6 4

  8. Centroid • The point of concurrency of the medians is the Centroid

  9. Altitude of a Triangle • Altitude: perpendicular segment from a vertex to the line containing the opposite side. * The altitude can be inside the triangle, outside the triangle, or a leg of the triangle

  10. Orthocenter of the Triangle • The lines containing the altitudes of a triangle are concurrent at the orthocenter.
