Perpendicular Bisectors of a Triangle 5

Concurrent • Three or more lines are Concurrent if they intersect at the same point. • The point of intersection is called the Point of Concurrency. 6

Circumcenter Theorem • The 3 perpendicular bisectors of any triangle will intersect at a point that is equidistant from the vertices of the triangle. • This point is called the circumcenter and is the center of a circle that contains all 3 vertices of the triangle. 7

Angle Bisectors of Triangles A segment is an angle bisector of a triangle iff one endpoint is a vertex of the triangle and the other endpoint is any other point on the triangle such that the segment bisects an angle of the triangle. Every triangle has 3 angle bisectors which will always intersect in the same point - the incenter, which is • the same distance from all 3 sides of the triangle. • also the center of a circle that will intersect each side of the triangle in exactly one point. 17

Example 2: Problem-Solving Application A sculptor is shaping a triangular piece of iron that will balance on the point of a cone. At what coordinates will the triangular region balance? 1 Understand the Problem The answer will be the coordinates of the centroid of the triangle. The important information is the location of the vertices, A(6, 6), B(10, 7), and C(8, 2). 2 Make a Plan The centroid of the triangle is the point of intersection of the three medians. So write the equations for two medians and find their point of intersection.

What is the Altitude of a Triangle? • Connects the vertex to where it is perpendicular to the opposite side • Every triangle has 3 altitudes that will always intersect in the same point. A T Combine all three ALTITUDE’S in a triangle and you get an ORTHOCENTER Z W R Tells us the segment is perpendicular P 48

EXAMPLE 3 ORTHOCENTERS Acute triangle Right triangle Obtuse triangle P is inside triangle. P is on triangle. P is outside triangle. Helpful Hint The height of a triangle is the length of an altitude. 49

Steps to find the Ortho. Center 1) Find Equation 1 Choose a vertex • Find the equation of altitude (perpendicular to This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY-SA leg across from vertex) 3) Point of Intersection 2) Find Equation 2 Choose a different vertex • Find the equation of altitude (perpendicular to leg across from vertex) Find the point of the intersection both lines found in step 1 and step 2. • Use substitution if necessary. Remember. If acute, Ortho is inside triangle. If its right triangle, its on the triangle, and if its obtuse, ortho is outside.

Example 2 Continued Notice that this Orthocenter is OUTSIDE the triangle

Checking the Orthocenter Show that the altitude to JK passes through the orthocenter of ∆JKL. 4=1+3 4=4 Therefore, this altitude passes through the orthocenter.
