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 a perpendicular bisector?

Back

A perpendicular bisector is a line that divides a segment into two equal parts at a right angle.

What is the relationship between the circumcenter and the circumradius?

Back

The circumradius is the radius of the circumcircle, which is the circle that passes through all three vertices of the triangle, centered at the circumcenter.
