  1. 5-1 Bisectors, Medians, and Altitudes 1.) Identify and use perpendicular bisectors and angle bisectors in triangles. 2.) Identify and use medians and altitudes in triangles.

  2. 5-1 Bisectors, Medians, and Altitudes perpendicular bisector - a line, segment, or ray that passes through the midpoint of the side and is perpendicular to that side. Theorem 5.1 Perpendicular Bisector Theorem Theorem 5.2 Converse of Perpendicular Bisector Theorem

  3. 5-1 Bisectors, Medians, and Altitudes B A In the isosceles ∆POQ, is the perpendicular bisector. The perpendicular bisector does not have to start from a vertex! Example: In the scalene ∆CDE, is the perpendicular bisector. In the right ∆MLN, is the perpendicular bisector. Since a triangle has three sides, how many perpendicular bisectors do triangles have?? Perpendicular bisectors of a triangle intersect at a common point.

  4. 5-1 Bisectors, Medians, and Altitudes Circumcenter Perpendicular bisectors of a triangle intersect at a common point. Concurrent Lines: Three or more lines that intersect at a common point. Point of Concurrency: Point of intersection for concurrent lines. Circumcenter: Point of concurrency of the perpendicular bisectors of an triangle. **The circumcenter does not have to belong inside the triangle.

  5. 5-1 Bisectors, Medians, and Altitudes Theorem 5.3 Circumcenter Theorem The circumcenter of a triangle is equidistant from the vertices of the triangle. **If J is the circumcenter of ABC, then AJ = BJ = CJ. B J C A

  6. 5-1 Bisectors, Medians, and Altitudes Example 1: BD is the perpendicular bisector of AC. Find AD

  7. 5-1 Bisectors, Medians, and Altitudes Example 2: In the diagram, WX is the perpendicular bisector of YZ. (a) What segment lengths in the diagram are equal? (b) Is V on WX?

  8. 5-1 Bisectors, Medians, and Altitudes Example 3: In the diagram, JK is the perpendicular bisector of NL. (a) Find NK. (b) Explain why M is on JK.

  9. 5-1 Bisectors, Medians, and Altitudes Example 4: In the diagram, BC is the perpendicular bisector of AD. Find the value of x.

  10. 5-1 Bisectors, Medians, and Altitudes Theorem 5.4 Angle Bisector Theorem Theorem 5.5 Converse of Angle Bisector Theorem

  11. 5-1 Bisectors, Medians, and Altitudes Angle bisectors of a triangle are congruent. Angle bisectors of a triangle intersect at a common point called the incenter. Theorem 5.6 Incenter Theorem The incenter of a triangle is equidistant from each side of the triangle. **If G is the incenter of ABC, then GE = GD = GF. AF is angle bisector of <BAC BD is angle bisector of <ABC CE is angle bisector of <BCA

  12. 5-1 Bisectors, Medians, and Altitudes Example 5: Find the measure of angle GFJ if FJ bisects <GFH.

  13. 5-1 Bisectors, Medians, and Altitudes Example 6: Find the value of x.

  14. 5-1 Bisectors, Medians, and Altitudes Example 7: Find the value of x.

  15. 5-1 Bisectors, Medians, and Altitudes Example 8: QS is the angle bisector of <PQR. Find the value of x.

  17. 5-1 Bisectors, Medians, and Altitudes Median -- a segment whose endpoints are a vertex of a triangle and the midpoint of the side opposite the vertex. Since there are three vertices, there are three medians. In the figure C, E and F are the midpoints of the sides of the triangle. The medians of a triangle also intersect at a common point called the centroid.

  18. 5-1 Bisectors, Medians, and Altitudes Theorem 5.7 Centroid Theorem The centroid of a triangle is located two thirds of the distance from a vertex to the midpoint of the side opposite the vertex on a median. **If L is the centroid of ABC, then AL = AE, BL = BF CL = CD 2 3 2 3 2 3 L

  21. 5-1 Bisectors, Medians, and Altitudes Altitude -- a segment from a vertex to the line containing the opposite side and perpendicular to the line containing that side. Every triangle contains 3 altitudes. Altitudes of an acute triangle. Altitudes of an obtuse triangle. The altitudes of a triangle also intersect at a common point called the orthocenter.
