    Segment of Triangle

    Uploaded by

    The document discusses different segments in triangles including medians, altitudes, angle bisectors, and perpendicular bisectors. It states that the three medians of a triangle intersect at the centroid, the three altitudes intersect at the orthocenter, and the three angle bisectors intersect at the incenter. The centroid divides each median into a 2:1 ratio, with the part closer to the vertex being twice as long as the part closer to the midpoint of the opposite side.

    Segments in Triangles

    Definition: A median of a triangle is a segment


    joining any vertex of the triangle to the midpoint
    of the opposite side.
    All triangles have three medians, which,
    when drawn, will intersect at one point in the
    interior of the triangle called the centroid.

    FYI: When three or more lines intersect in a single (common) point,


    the lines are referred to as being concurrent. The medians of a
    triangle are concurrent.
    The centroid of a
    triangle divides the
    medians into a 2:1
    ratio. The section of
    the median nearest the
    vertex is twice as long
    as the section near the
    midpoint of the
    triangle's side. In other
    words, the length of
    the median from the
    vertex to the centroid is
    2/3 of its total length.
    Example 1:
    Example 2:
    Definition: An altitude of a triangle is a
    segment from any vertex perpendicular
    to the line containing the opposite side.
    The point where the lines containing the
    altitudes are concurrent is called the 
    orthocenter of the triangle.
    Example 1.
    Definition: An angle bisector is a ray from the vertex of
    the angle into the interior of the angle forming two
    congruent angles.
    • The point of concurrency is called the incenter, and is the center of an
    inscribed circle within the triangle. This fact is important when doing
    the construction of an inscribed circle in a triangle.
    Theorem
    An angle bisector is equidistant from the sides
    of the angle when measured along a segment
    perpendicular to the sides of the angle.
    Theorem
    The bisector of an angle of a triangle divides the
    opposite side into segments that are proportional
    to the adjacent sides.
    Definition: A perpendicular bisector is a line (or
    segment or ray) that is perpendicular to a side of
    the triangle and also bisects that side of the
    triangle by intersecting the side at its midpoint.
    Note:
    The perpendicular bisector may, or may NOT, pass
    through the vertex of the triangle.
    Example 1:
    Segments in a Triangle Concurrency
    Median Centroid
    Altitudes Orthocenter
    Angle Bisector Incenter
    Perpendicular Bisector Circumcenter
    Theorem: An equilateral triangle is also equiangular.
    Theorem: CONVERSE OF THE ISOSCELES TRIANGLE
    THEOREM (CITT) If two angles of a triangle are
    congruent, then the sides opposite these angles are also
    congruent.
    Theorem: An equiangular triangle is also equilateral.
    Theorem: The angle bisector of the vertex angle of an
    isosceles triangle is the perpendicular bisector of the
    base.
