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.
How many medians altitudes angle bisectors and perpendicular bisectors does a triangle have?
medians-3 altitudes-3
The point of intersection of the perpendicular bisectors of the sides of a triangle is called?
circumcenter
If the point of concurrency of the perpendicular bisectors of a triangle lies outside the triangle what type of triangle is it?
Isometric, I think * * * * * An obtuse angled triangle.
Do the perpendicular bisectors of a triangle always sometimes or never intersect on the triangle?
The perpendicular bisectors only intersect on the triangle when it is an isosceles right triangle.
Which best describes the circumcenter of a triangle?
The point where the perpendicular bisectors of the three sides of the triangle intersect
Which term describes the point where the perpendicular bisectors of the three sides of a triangle intersect?
Circumcenter
Is the three perpendicular bisector of a triangle intersect at a point in the exterior of the triangle true or false?
The three ANGLE bisectors of a triangle also bisect the sides, and intersect at a point INSIDE the triangle. The angle bisectors are not necessarily perpendicular to them. The perpendicular bisectors of the sides can intersect in a point either inside or outside the triangle, depending on the shape of the triangle.
Do 3 perpendicular bisectors of a triangle intersect at a point in the exterior of the triangle?
Since the intersection of the perpendicular bisectors of a triangle is the center of the inscribed circle (we call it the centroid of a triangle), the answer is no.
What intersects at the circumcenter of a triangle?
The perpendicular bisectors of the sides of a triangle intersect at its circumcentre.
What point of concurrency of the perpendicular bisectors of a triangle?
The three perpendicular bisectors (of the sides) of a triangle intersect at the circumcentre - the centre of the circle on which the three vertices of the triangle sit.
What is the name of the point at which all of a triangle's perpendicular bisectors intersect?
circumcenter
What kind of triangle do the perpendicular bisectors intersect in a point outside the triangle?
a right triange
Where can the perpendicular bisectors of the side of a right triangle intersect?
Only at the midpoint of the hypotenuse.
How are perpendicular lines different from a intersecting lines?
They are not. The perpendicular bisectors of a triangle, for example, intersect at the orthocentre of the triangle. So perpendicular lines can be intersecting and conversely.
What best describes the incenter of a triangle?
the point where the three angle bisectors of the triangle intersect
