Orthocenter

Front

Define centroid in the context of triangles.

Back

The centroid is the point where the three medians of a triangle intersect, and it is also the center of mass of the triangle.

Front

Define incenter in the context of triangles.

Back

The incenter is the point where the three angle bisectors of a triangle intersect, and it is the center of the triangle's inscribed circle.

Front

Define circumcenter in the context of triangles.

Back

The circumcenter is the point where the three perpendicular bisectors of a triangle intersect, and it is the center of the triangle's circumscribed circle.

Front

Define orthocenter in the context of triangles.

Back

The orthocenter is the point where the three altitudes of a triangle intersect.

Front

What is a median in a triangle?

Back

A median is a line segment that connects a vertex of the triangle to the midpoint of the opposite side.

Front

What is an altitude in a triangle?

Back

An altitude is a perpendicular segment from a vertex to the line containing the opposite side.
