Question 1

Median

Answer 1

• a segment from the vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side of a triangle
• the medians originate from the vertices
• the median may or may not be perpendicular to the opposite side

Question 2

Centroid

Answer 2

• the centroid is the point of concurrency of the three medians of a triangle
• the centroid is two-thirds the distance of the whole median as measured from the vertex
• the measure of the distance from the centroid to the midpoint of the opposite side is one-third the distance of the entire median
• the short part of the median is one-half the distance of the long part of the median

Question 3

Altitude

Answer 3

• the perpendicular segment from a vertex to the opposite side of the triangle
• the altitudes originate from the vertices
• the altitudes may or may not bisect the opposite side

Question 4

Orthocenter

Answer 4

• the orthocenter is the point of concurrency of the three altitudes of a triangle
• in a right triangle, the orthocenter is the vertex forming the right angle

Question 5

Midsegment

Answer 5

• a segment that connects the midpoint of two sides of a triangle
• the midsegment is parallel to the third side of the triangle and 1/2 as long
• double the midsegment equals the third side of the triangle

Question 6

Point of concurrency

Answer 6

The point where three or more lines intersect

Question 7

Circumcenter

Answer 7

• the point of concurrency where the perpendicular bisectors of the three sides of a triangle meet
• always appears on the hypotenuse of a right triangle
• the perpendicular bisectors do not originate from the vertices
• the circumcenter is an equal distance from each of the vertices of the triangle

Question 8

Incenter

Answer 8

• the point of concurrency of the angle bisectors of a triangle
• the angle bisectors originate from the vertices
• the incenter is an equal distance from each of the sides of the triangle

Question 9

• the point of concurrency of the angle bisectors of a triangle
• the angle bisectors originate from the vertices
• is an equal distance from each of the sides of the triangle

Answer 9

Incenter

Question 10

• the point of concurrency where the perpendicular bisectors of the three sides of a triangle meet
• always appears on the hypotenuse of a right triangle
• the perpendicular bisectors do not originate from the vertices
• is an equal distance from each of the vertices of the triangle
