5-1 Centroid and Orthocenter

Define:

a. Concurrent Lines-

b. Point of Concurrency-

CENTROID

To draw a centroid: draw a segment from each vertex to midpoint of each opposite side (aka: a median)

The medians of a triangle are concurrent. Notice that the point of

concurrence (CENTROID) is in the interior of the triangles.

KEY IDEA

The centroid divides the medians into a ______ ratio.

Examples

1. Z is the centroid of triangle ABC. BD = 8, ZF = 3, and AZ = 10. Find:

a) CZ = ____ c) BC = ____

b) DZ = ____ d) AD = ____

2. In the diagram, M is the centroid of [pic], CM = 36, MQ = 30, and TS = 56.

Find the length of AM and RM.

3. In (ABC, [pic] are medians, and P is the centroid.

B

a. Find x if DP = 4x -3 and CP =30

b. Find y if AP = y and EP =18

c. Find z if FP = 2z + 4 and BP = 42

ORTHOCENTER

To draw an orthocenter: draw a segment from each vertex, perpendicularly to the opposite side (aka: a altitude)

The altitudes of a triangle are concurrent. Notice that the point of concurrence (ORTHOCENTER) is NOT ALWAYS in the interior of the triangles.

KEY IDEA

Ortho means ________ and altitudes always

form right angles

5-2 Incenter and Circumcenter

Incenter

To draw an incenter: draw a segment, that BISECTS each vertex, to the opposite side

(aka: angle bisector)

The angle bisectors of a triangle are concurrent. Notice that the point of concurrence (INCENTER) is ALWAYS in the interior of the triangles.

KEY IDEA

The incenter is ___________ from each side of a triangle

Examples:

1. In the diagram, N is the incenter of [pic]. Which statement cannot be determined from the given information?

(1) [pic]

(2) [pic]

(3) [pic]

(4) [pic]

2. Point D is the incenter of triangle XYZ. Find:

AD = ______

BZ = ______

Circumcenter

To draw an circumcenter: draw a segment that is perpendicular to and bisects each side (aka: perpendicular bisector)

The perpendicular bisectors of a triangle are concurrent. Notice that the point of concurrence (CIRCUMCENTER) is NOT ALWAYS in the interior of the triangles.

KEY IDEA

Any point on the perpendicular bisector is ___________ from the endpoints.

Example:

1. Point G is the circumcenter of triangle ABC. Find:

AD = ______

GC = ______

AF = ______ (simplest radical form)
