6 3b Concurrency in Triangles

1. The point of concurrency for the angle bisectors, medians, altitudes, and perpendicular bisectors of a triangle are the incenter, centroid, orthocenter, and circumcenter respectively. 2. The incenter is equidistant from the sides of the triangle. The circumcenter is equidistant from the vertices of the triangle. The centroid is one-third of the distance from each vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. 3. To inscribe a circle about a triangle, you use the circumcenter. To circumscribe a circle about a triangle, you use the vertices.
