Baricentro

The intersection point of the medians of a triangle. It is also the center of gravity of the triangle.

Circocentro

The intersection point of the perpendicular bisectors of the sides of a triangle. It is the center of the circumcircle of the triangle.

Incentro

The intersection point of the angle bisectors of a triangle. It is the center of the incircle of the triangle.

Study Notes

  • There are four noteworthy points in a triangle

Barycenter

  • It is the intersection point of the medians, which are line segments connecting each vertex with the midpoint of the opposite side
  • It is also the center of gravity of the triangle

Circumcenter

  • Intersection point of the axes, specifically the perpendicular lines to the sides passing through their midpoints
  • It is the center of the circumscribed circle of the triangle, passing through all three vertices

Incenter

  • It is the meeting point of the bisectors, which are the rays dividing each angle into two equal parts
  • It represents the center of the inscribed circle within the triangle, tangent to all three sides

Orthocenter

  • It is the intersection point of the altitudes, the perpendicular segments drawn from each vertex to the opposite side
