What is the point in a triangle where all three angle bisectors meet?
The point in a triangle where all three angle bisectors meet is called the incenter.
What is the purpose of an orthocenter?
In short, the orthocenter really has no purpose. There are 4 points of Concurrency in Triangles: 1) The Centroid - the point of concurrency where the 3 medians of a triangle meet. This point is also the triangle's center of gravity. 2) The Circumcenter - the point of concurrency where the perpendicular bisectors of all three sides of the triangle meet. This point is the center of the triangle's circumscribed circle. 3) The Incenter - the point of concurrency where the angle bisectors of all three angles of the triangle meet. Like the circumcenter, the incenter is the center of the inscribed circle of a triangle. 4) The Orthocenter - the point of concurrency where the 3 altitudes of a triangle meet. Unlike the other three points of concurrency, the orthocenter is only there to show that altitudes are concurrent. Thus, bringing me back to the initial statement.
What is a circumcenter of a triangle?
The point of concurrency (intersection) of 3 perpendicular bisectors (the lines that cut the sides of the triangle in half at a 90 degree angle...think of a plus sign--+) of a triangle. It's equidistant to the 3 vertices (points or ends) of the triangle.
What best describes the incenter of a triangle?
the point where the three angle bisectors of the triangle intersect
Angle bisector of a triangle?
The angle bisectors of a triangle are the lines which cut the inner angles of a triangle into equal halves. The angle bisectors are concurrent and intersect at the center of the incircle.
