ALTITUDE

Page 4: Secondary Parts of a Triangle

Altitude

An altitude of a triangle is a perpendicular segment from a vertex of

the triangle to the opposite side or to the line containing the opposite side.

MEDIAN

Page 7: Secondary Parts of a Triangle

Median

A median is a segment whose endpoints are a vertex of the triangle

and the midpoint of the opposite side.

ANGLE BISECTOR

Angle Bisector

An angle bisector of a triangle is a segment which bisects an angle and whose endpoints are a vertex of the triangle and a point on the opposite

side.

PERPENDICULAR BISECTOR

Page 13: Secondary Parts of a Triangle

Perpendicular Bisector

A perpendicular bisector of a side of a triangle is a line perpendicular to the

sides at its midpoint and it is equidistant to the endpoints of the

given segment.

Circumcenter

point of concurrency of the three perpendicular

bisectors

Page 15: Secondary Parts of a Triangle

A triangle has 3 altitudes, 3 medians, 3 angle bisectors and 3

perpendicular bisectors.
