Warm-Up:EOC Prep If m<CTR = 27, what is m<K? A) 27 B) 54 C) 63 D) 76 • Suppose RK = 8. What is the perimeter of TPK? • 25 • 33 • 50 • 66
Concurrent Lines, Medians, and Altitudes5.3 Today’s GoalsBy the end of class today, YOU should be able to… 1. Identify and apply the properties of medians and altitudes of a triangle. 2. Find the circumcenter of a triangle.
Concurrency • When three or more lines intersect in one point, they are concurrent. • The point at which they intersect is the point of concurrency. • For any triangle, four different sets of lines are concurrent.
Theorems on concurrency • The perpendicular bisectors of the sides of a triangle are concurrent at a point equidistant from the vertices. • The perpendicular bisectors of the sides of a triangle are concurrent at a point equidistant from the vertices.
Circumcenter • The point of concurrency of the perpendicular bisectors of a triangle
Circumscribed about/Inscribed in • A circle is circumscribed about a triangle if the vertices of the triangle are on the circle. • A circle is inscribed in a triangle if the sides of the triangle are tangent to the circle.
Ex.1: Circumcenters Find the center of the circle that you can circumscribe about OPS.
Ex.1: Solution Two perpendicular bisectors of sides of OPS are x = 2 and y = 3. These lines intersect at (2, 3). This point is the center of the circle.
Incenter • The point of concurrency of the angle bisectors of a triangle • In the following image, points X, Y, and Z are equidistant from I, the incenter.
Median of a triangle • A segment whose endpoints are a vertex and the midpoint of the opposite side.
Theorem 5-8 • The medians of a triangle are concurrent at a point that is two thirds the distance from each vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side.
Finding the median of a triangle • D is the centroid of ABC and DE = 6. • Find BE. • Since D is a centroid, BD = BE and DE = BE. 1/3 BE = DE = 6 BE = 18
Centroid of a triangle • The point of concurrency of the medians.
Altitude of a triangle • The perpendicular segment from a vertex to the line containing the opposite side. • Unlike angle bisectors and medians, an altitude of a triangle can be a side of a triangle or it may lie outside the triangle.
Orthocenter of a triangle • The point of intersection of the lines containing the altitudes of the triangle.
Theorem 5-9 • The lines that contain the altitudes of a triangle are concurrent.
