Exploring Perpendicular and Angle Bisectors in Triangles

The video tutorial covers the concepts of triangle medians, centroids, angle bisectors, incenter, and circumcenter using Geogebra. It explains how medians connect vertices to midpoints, forming centroids, and how angle bisectors intersect to form the incenter. The tutorial also demonstrates creating a circumcenter by using perpendicular bisectors, allowing the triangle to be inscribed in a circle. The video provides practical examples and visualizations to enhance understanding.

What is the centroid of a triangle?

• The point where the altitudes intersect

• The point where the perpendicular bisectors meet

• The point where the medians intersect

• The point where the angle bisectors meet
