Problems 22- 28 in EOC packet
Essential Questions: Essential Questions: What are the different types of
triangle centers and how do I construct them?
Standard(s): Standard(s): MCC9-12.G.CO.12Make formal geometric constructions with a variety of tools and methods (compass and straightedge, string, reflective devices, paper folding, dynamic geometric software, etc.). Copying a segment; copying an angle; bisecting a segment; bisecting an angle; constructing perpendicular lines, including the perpendicular bisector of a line segment; and constructing a line parallel to a given line through a point not on the line
Unit 1 Section 7 Unit 1 Section 7 Triangle Centers
VocabularyVocabulary Circumcenter: Is the center of a circle that perfectly passes
through each vertex. Incenter: Is the center of largest possible circle that still
completely fits inside the circle. Centroid: Is the center that is the center of gravity of the
triangle (balancing point) and there is a constant ratio between the distance from the centroid to the midpoint and centroid to the vertex.
Orthocenter: Is the fourth common center but has no unique properties other than it is on the EULER line.
MEDIAN of a triangle: All triangle’s have 3 medians. Each median is a segment with one endpoint on the midpoint of a side of a triangle and the other endpoint at the opposite vertex of the triangle
ALTITUDE of a triangle: All triangle’s have 3 altitudes. Each altitude is a line that passes through a vertex of the triangle and is perpendicular to the opposite side.

located ona) An acute triangleb) An obtuse trianglec) A right triangle
Inside the triangle
Outside the triangle
On the triangle
CentroidCentroidWhat is special about the
medians that make a centroid?Hint: There is a ratio involved
IncenterIncenterFormed by:Angle Bisectors
What is special about the incentor?
It is the center of a triangle that tangents all the sides
Properties of the IncenterProperties of the IncenterThe incenter is the center of the
triangle's incircle, the largest circle that will fit inside the triangle and touch all three sides.
Always inside the triangle

OrthocenterOrthocenterWhat forms an orthocenter?Altitudes
Shortcut:Instead of drawing all three altitudes two will also show the accurate orthocenter
OrthocenterOrthocenterThe orthocenter is not always
inside the triangle. If the triangle is obtuse, it will be outside.
If the triangle is right it will be on the vertex of the right angle
