Front

Define 'altitude' in the context of a triangle.

Back

An altitude is a line segment from a vertex to the opposite side, forming a right angle with that side.

Front

Define 'median' in the context of a triangle.

Back

A median is a line segment from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side.

Front

Define 'angle bisector' in the context of a triangle.

Back

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

Front

Define 'perpendicular bisector' in the context of a triangle.

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship between the centroid and the medians of a triangle?

Back

The centroid divides each median into a ratio of 2:1.

Front

What is the significance of the circumcenter in a triangle?

Back

The circumcenter is the center of the circumcircle, which passes through all three vertices of the triangle.
