If three ________ lines cut off ___________ segments on one ___________, then they cut off _________ segments on every __________.
parallelcongruenttransversal
congruenttransversal
8
What is a segment from the vertex of the triangle to the
midpoint of the opposite side?
Median
9
What is the definition of an Altitude?
The perpendicular segment from a vertex of the triangle to the segment that contains the opposite side.
10
A line that contains the ___________ of one side of a triangle and is _________ to
another side passes through the _________ of the third side.
midpointparallel
midpoint
11
What is a line that is perpendicular to a segment at its midpoint and does NOT have to start at a vertex?
Perpendicular Bisector
12
The segment that joins the midpoint of two sides of a triangle….1)
2)
Is parallel to the third side
Is half as long as the third side
Bonus 2
Definition of a Centroid
Altitude fact about right triangles
Altitude fact about obtuse triangles
The point where all three medians meet
Two of the altitudes of are the legs of the triangle
Two of the altitudes are outside of the triangle

Both lines are a good representation of Perpendicular Bisectors.
The orange line are a good representation of Perpendicular Bisectors. The green line is not able to be determined.
17 These three lines are a good representation of Medians.
The teal line is a good representation of a Median. The blue and red lines are good representations of Altitudes.
18 The intersection of AF, BE, and CD is the centroid.
No it is not the centroid. Centroids are formed from medians. Altitudes are displayed here.
