Term
perpendicular bisector
Definition
is a line, segment, a ray, or even a plane that is perpendicular to the segment at its midpoint
Term
perpendicular bisector theorem
Definition
if a point is on the line perpendicular bisector of a segment, then it is equidistant from the endpoints of the segment.
Term
converse of the perpendicular bisector theorem
Definition
if a point is equdistant from the endpoints of a segment, then it is on the perpendicular bisector of the segment
Term
angle bisector theorem
Definition
if a point is on the bisector of an angle, then the point is equidistant from the side of the angle
Term
converse of the angle bisector theorem
Definition
if a point in the interior of an angle is equidistant fron the side of the angle, then the point is on the angle bisector
Term
Perpendicular bisector of a triangle
Definition
is a line(or a segment, a ray, or a plane) that is perpendicular to ta side of the triangle at the side's midpoint
Term

Definition
the point at which they intersect in called the point of ....
Term
Concurrency of Perpendicular Bisectors Theorem
Definition
The perpendicular bisectors of the sides of a triangle are concurrent at a point equidistant from the vertices.
Term
Circumcenter of the triangle
Definition
The circle is circumscribed about the triangle. P, the point of concurrency of the perpendicular bisectors of this triangle, is also.
Term
the circumcenter of a acute, right, obtuse triangle
Definition
acute right obtuse
inside on the hypotenuse outside
Term
angle bisector of a triangle
Definition
is a bisector of an angle of the triangle.
Term
concurrency of angle bisector theorem
Definition
the bisector of the angles of a triangle are concurrent at a point equidistant from the side of the triangle.
Term
incenter of a triangle
Definition
the point of concurrency of the bisector of a triangle.
Term
median of a triangle
Definition
is a segment whose endpoints are vertex and the midpoint of the opposite side.
Term
concurrency of medians theorem
Definition
the medians of a triangle are concurrent at a point that is two-thirds the distance from each vertex of the midpoint of the opposite side.
Term
altitude of a triangle
Definition
is the perpendicular segment from a vertex of the triangle to the line containing the opposite side
Term
concurrency of altitude theorem
Definition
the lines that contain the altitudes of a triangle are concurrency
Term
orthocenter of a triangle
Definition
the lines that contain the altitude of a triangle are concurrency at the orthocenter. the orthocenter of a triangle can be inside, on, or outside the triangle.
