Front

What is the Perpendicular Bisector Theorem?

Back

The Perpendicular Bisector Theorem states that if a point is on the perpendicular bisector of a segment, then it is equidistant from the endpoints of the segment.

What is a Median in a triangle?

Back

A Median of a triangle is a line segment joining a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side.

Front

What is an Altitude in a triangle?

Back

An Altitude of a triangle is a perpendicular segment from a vertex to the line containing the opposite side.

Front

How do you find the circumcenter of a triangle?

Back

The circumcenter can be found by determining the intersection point of the perpendicular bisectors of the sides of the triangle.

Front

What is the relationship between the circumcenter and the vertices of a triangle?

Back

The circumcenter is equidistant from all three vertices of the triangle.

Front

If a triangle has vertices A(1,1), B(1,7), and C(5,1), what is the circumcenter?

Back

The circumcenter is (3,4).

The value of x is 18.

Front

What does it mean for two segments to be congruent?

Back

Two segments are congruent if they have the same length.

Front

What is the definition of a right angle?

Back
