Geometry Conjectures Flashcards

The three medians of a triangle are concurrent.

The point of Concurrency is called the centroid.

The three altitudes of a triangle are concurrent.

The point of concurrency is called the Orthocenter

The three Perpendicular Bisectors are concurrent.

The point of concurrency is called the circumcenter.

The three angle bisectors of a
triangle meet at a point.
-or-
The three angle bisectors of a
triangle are concurrent.
C-9: Angle Bisector Concurrency
The point of concurrency is called the incenter

The centroid of a triangle is the
center of gravity of the triangular
region.

The centroid divides the median into
2 segments so that the distance
from the vertex to the centroid is
twice the distance from the centroid to the midpoint.

The orthocenter of a right triangle is
on the vertex of the right angle.

Altitudes
The orthocenter of an obtuse
triangle is outside of the triangle
Orthocenter Conjectures

The circumcenter is equidistant from
the vertices of a triangle.

Perpendicular Bisector
Other info:
a. The circumcenter is outside of an obtuse
triangle
b. The circumcenter is on the midpoint of the
hypotenuse of a right triangle
c. The circumcenter is the center of the circle that
circumscribes the triangle

The incenter is equidistant from the sides of a triangle.

Angle Bisector

Other info:
a. The incenter is the center of the circle that is
inscribed inside the triangle
b. Don’t forget that the distance in question is the
shortest distance, perpendicular from the
incenter to the side of the triangle

The circumcenter, centroid and
orthocenter are collinear.
For an isosceles triangle, the points
of concurrency all lie on the angle
bisector of the vertex angle.
For an equilateral triangle, all 4
points of concurrency are the same

The centroid divides the Euler
Segment into 2 parts so that the
smaller part is half of the larger part.
