Unit 5 Flashcard

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.

Front

If BM = 21, what is PM if P is the midpoint?

Back

PM = 7

Front

What does a circumscribed circle mean?

Back

A circumscribed circle is a circle that passes through all the vertices of a polygon.

Front

Solve for x: 2x + 5 = 25.

Back

x = 10

Front

What creates a centroid in a triangle?

Back

Centroids are created by the intersection of the medians of a triangle.

Front

What is an Altitude in a triangle?

Back

An altitude is a perpendicular segment from a vertex to the line containing the opposite side.

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 an Angle Bisector?

Back

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

Front

If a triangle has sides of lengths 3, 4, and 5, what type of triangle is it?

Back

It is a right triangle.

Front

What is the relationship between the centroid and the medians?

Back

The centroid divides each median into two segments, with the longer segment being twice the length of the shorter segment.
