5.4 DO NOW Midsegment, Circumcenter, Incenter Review

Front

What is the definition of a midsegment in a triangle?

Back

A midsegment is a segment that connects the midpoints of two sides of a triangle, and it is parallel to the third side.

Front

What is the relationship between the length of a midsegment and the length of the third side in a triangle?

Back

The length of the midsegment is half the length of the third side.

What is the circumcenter of a triangle?

Back

The circumcenter is the point where the perpendicular bisectors of the sides of a triangle intersect.

What is the significance of the circumcenter in a triangle?

Back

The circumcenter is equidistant from all three vertices of the triangle, making it the center of the circumcircle.

Front

What is the relationship between the centroid and the triangle's vertices?

Back

The centroid divides each median into a ratio of 2:1, with the longer segment being closer to the vertex.

What is the formula to find the circumradius (R) of a triangle?

Back

R = (abc) / (4K), where a, b, c are the lengths of the sides and K is the area of the triangle.
