Triangle Segments
Triangle Midsegment A midsegment of a triangle is a segment connecting the midpoints of two sides of a triangle. ____ Example: DE
Triangle Midsegment Theorem If a segment joins the midpoints of two sides of a triangle, then the segment is parallel to the third side and half (1/2) as long. __ If DE is a midsegment of △ABC, __ __ __ then DE II AC and DE = ½ AC or AC = 2(DE) II is the symbol for parallel
Perpendicular Bisector A line, segment, or ray that divides a segment into two equal parts and is perpendicular to the segment. ⊥ = symbol for perpendicular Perpendicular = a straight line at an angle of 90° to a given line, plane, or surface.
Perpendicular Bisector Theorem If a point lies on the perpendicular bisector of a segment, then it is equidistant from the endpoints of the segment. <____> ____ ____ If CD ⊥ AB and AD ≅ DB then AC ≅ CB
Converse of the Perpendicular Bisector Theorem If a point is equidistant from the endpoint ____ ____ <____> segment, If AC ≅ CB and CD ⊥ AB then AD ≅then DB it is on the perpendicular b the segment.
Circumcenter The point at which the three perpendicular bisectors intersect in a triangle.

Incenter The point at which the three angle bisectors intersect in a triangle.
Parts of a Right Triangle Side C is called the Hypotenuse. Sides A and B are called Legs.
Median A segment that connects a vertex of a triangle to the midpoint of the opposite side. Vertex – A point where two or more line segments meet.
Centroid The point at which the three medians intersect in a triangle.
Altitude A segment joining a vertex of a triangle to the opposite side so that it is perpendicular to that side. Altitudes can be found inside a triangle, outside a triangle, or a side of a triangle.
Orthocenter All three altitudes of a triangle intersect at a point called the orthocenter.
