Front

Can the following side measures form a triangle? 4 cm, 7 cm, 10 cm

Back

Yes, the sum of the lengths of any two sides must be greater than the length of the third side.

Front

What is the point of concurrency where the perpendicular bisectors of a triangle meet?

Back

Circumcenter.

Front

What is a perpendicular bisector?

Back

A line that divides a line segment into two equal parts at a 90-degree angle.

Front

Find the range of possible measures for the third side of a triangle with sides 10 cm and 7 cm.

Back

The range is 3 < x < 17.

Front

What fraction of the length of a median does the centroid divide it into?

Back

The shorter segment is one third the length of the entire segment.

Front

What is the definition of a triangle?

Back

A polygon with three edges and three vertices.

Front

What is the Triangle Inequality Theorem?

Back

The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side.

Front

What is the definition of a centroid in a triangle?

Back

The point where the three medians intersect.

Front

What is an altitude in a triangle?

Back

A perpendicular segment from a vertex to the line containing the opposite side.

Front

What is the definition of an angle bisector?

Back

A line that divides an angle into two equal angles.
