What unique circle can be formed using the incenter of a triangle?
Press to flip
An in-circle that touches all sides of the triangle at exactly one point.
What unique angle property is associated with the circumcircle?
An angle subtended by a chord at the center is double the angle subtended at any point on the circumference.
What is the definition of a circumcenter in a triangle?
The circumcenter is the intersection point of all the perpendicular bisectors of the sides of a triangle.
What is a perpendicular bisector in the context of triangle geometry?
A perpendicular bisector is a line that is perpendicular to a side of the triangle and bisects it.
What is a circumcircle and how is it related to the circumcenter?
A circumcircle is a circle that passes through all three vertices of the triangle, with the circumcenter being its center.
How is an altitude in a triangle defined?
An altitude is a perpendicular line from a vertex to the opposite side or its extension.
What is the definition of an orthocenter in a triangle?
The orthocenter is the intersection point of all the altitudes of a triangle.
What is a key property of the angles formed by the incenter in a triangle?
Each angle formed like BIC, AIB, AIC equals 90° + (1/2) of the opposite angle.
What is the circumradius?
The circumradius (represented as R) is the radius of the circumcircle.
How does a centroid divide a triangle?
The centroid divides the triangle into six smaller triangles of equal area.
Explain a property associated with the angles formed by the orthocenter in a triangle.
The sum of the angles formed by the orthocenter with any two vertices and the opposite angle is 180°.
What is the definition of an incenter in a triangle?
The incenter is the intersection point of all the angle bisectors of a triangle.
What is the definition of a centroid in a triangle?
The centroid is the intersection point of all the medians of a triangle.
Define a median in a triangle.
A median is a line joining a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side.
What is the ratio that a centroid divides a median?
A centroid divides a median in the ratio 2:1 from the vertex.
How does the circumcenter relate to the vertices of a triangle?
The circumcenter is equidistant from all the vertices of the triangle.
Define an angle bisector in a triangle.
An angle bisector is a line dividing an angle into two equal parts.
