Back

Orthocenter

Front

What is the point where the three medians of a triangle intersect?

Back

Centroid

Front

What is the point where the three angle bisectors of a triangle meet?

Back

Back

Circumcenter

Front

What is the relationship between the centroid and the vertices of a triangle?

Back

The centroid divides each median into a ratio of 2:1.

Front

What is the significance of the orthocenter in a triangle?

Back

The orthocenter is the point where the altitudes intersect and can be inside, outside, or on the triangle depending on the type of triangle.
