Triangle segments Geometry (Holt Chapter 5)K.Santos
Angle Bisector A segment that divides an angle into two congruent angles. Vertex to opposite side
Angle Bisectors in triangles Point of concurrency--incenter
Perpendicular Bisector A segment that intersects a segment at its midpoint perpendicularly midpoint to opposite side (perpendicular)
Perpendicular Bisectors in Triangles Point of concurrency--circumcenter
Median A segment from a vertex of a triangle that intersects the opposite side at its midpoint. vertex to midpoint
Medians in triangles Point of concurrency--centroid
Midsegment A segment that connects two midpoints on the sides of the triangle. midpoint to midpoint
Midsegments in Triangles No point of concurrency
Altitude A segment that connects perpendicularly from a vertex to the line containing the opposite side. vertex to opposite side (perpendicular)
Altitudes in triangles Point of concurrency—orthocenter
