CUA 6C Review- Segments in Triangles

Front

What is the angle bisector of a triangle?

Back

An angle bisector is a line that divides an angle into two equal parts.

Front

What is the incenter of a triangle?

Back

The incenter is the point where the angle bisectors of a triangle intersect, and it is equidistant from all sides of the triangle.

Front

What is the circumcenter of a triangle?

Back

The circumcenter is the point where the perpendicular bisectors of the sides of a triangle intersect, and it is the center of the circumcircle.

Front

What is the orthocenter of a triangle?

Back

The orthocenter is the point where the altitudes of a triangle intersect.

Front

What is a perpendicular bisector?

Back

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

Front

What is the centroid of a triangle?

Back

The centroid is the point where the three medians of a triangle intersect, and it is the center of mass.

Front

In an obtuse triangle, where can the circumcenter be located?

Back

The circumcenter can be located outside the triangle.

Front

In an acute triangle, where can the orthocenter be located?

Back

The orthocenter is located inside the triangle.

Front

What is the relationship between the incenter and the sides of a triangle?

Back

The incenter is equidistant from each side of the triangle.

Front

What is a median in a triangle?

Back

A median is a line segment that connects a vertex of a triangle to the midpoint of the opposite side.
