Study Notes
Medians
- A median in a triangle connects a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side.
- There are three medians in a triangle.
- The medians intersect at the centroid of the triangle.
Angle Bisectors
- An angle bisector divides an angle in a triangle into two equal angles.
- There are three angle bisectors in a triangle.
- The angle bisectors intersect at the incenter of the triangle.
Altitudes
- An altitude in a triangle is a perpendicular line segment from a vertex to the opposite side.
- The three altitudes of a triangle intersect at the orthocenter.
Perpendicular Bisectors
- A perpendicular bisector of a side in a triangle is a line perpendicular to that side and passing through its midpoint.
- The three perpendicular bisectors in a triangle intersect at the circumcenter.
