What do you call the intersection among the secondary parts of the triangle?
hypotenuse
What do you call the intersection of the 3 altitudes of a trialgle?
The point where the three altitudes of a triangle intersect is called the orthocenter. This can be located either inside or outside of the triangle.
What is the name of the point at which all of the triangle's perpendicular bisectors intersect?
Circumcenter, this is the center-point of a circle circumscribed around the triangle. If the triangle is obtuse, then this point is outside the triangle and if the triangle is a right triangle, then the point is the midpoint of the hypotenuse.
Why is the centroid of a triangle important?
It is the triangle's point of equilibrium or its point of balance.
What is the point equidistant from the three sides of a triangle?
The point equidistant from the three sides of a triangle is the center of the triangle. The center of the triangle is the point of intersection of the medians of the triangle. The medians of a triangle are the line segments that join the vertices of the triangle to the midpoints of the opposite sides.
