- The 3 medians in a triangle meet at one point called
centroid or center o gravity. This point trisects each
median (2/3 and 1/3).
- The 3 heights in a triangle meet at one point called
orthocenter.
- The 3 angle bisectors in a triangle meet at one point
called incenter. This point is equidistant from the
sides of the triangle and is the center of the incircle
Concurrency theorems:
(the circle inscribed in the triangle)
- The 3 bisectors of the sides of a triangle meet at
one point called circumcenter. This point is
equidistant from the vertices of the triangle and is
the center of the circumcircle (the circle
circumscribed about the triangle).
In case of a right triangle, the circumcenter is the
midpoint of the hypotenuse.
In an isosceles triangle, the median from the vertex is
Characteristic property of an isosceles triangle also a height, angle bisector and perpendicular
bisector.(remarkable lines overlap)
