  1. 5-2 Bisectors in Triangles Section 5.2 Holt McDougal Geometry Holt Geometry

  2. Warm Up • If mADB = 20, find mADC. • If mADB=6x + 15 and mDBC=10x+3, find mADC.

  3. A perpendicular bisector of a side does not always pass through the opposite vertex. The three perpendicular bisectors of a triangle meet at a point called the circumcenter.

  4. When three or more lines intersect at one point, the lines are said to be concurrent. The point of concurrency is the point where they intersect. The three perpendicular bisectors of a triangle are concurrent. This point of concurrency is the circumcenter of the triangle.

  5. The circumcenter can be inside the triangle, outside the triangle, or on the triangle.

  6. The circumcenter of ΔABC is the center of its circumscribed circle. A circle that contains all the vertices of a polygon is circumscribed about the polygon.

  7. DG, EG, and FG are the perpendicular bisectors of ∆ABC. Find GC.

  8. MZ is a perpendicular bisector of ∆GHJ. 1. Find GM. 2. Find GK. 3. Find JZ.

  9. Find the circumcenter of ∆HJK with vertices H(0, 0), J(10, 0), and K(0, 6). Find the circumcenter of ∆GOH with vertices G(0, –9), O(0, 0), and H(8, 0) .

  10. A triangle has three angles, so it has three angle bisectors. The angle bisectors of a triangle are also concurrent. This point of concurrency is the incenter of the triangle.

  11. Unlike the circumcenter, the incenter is always inside the triangle.

  12. The incenter is the center of the triangle’s inscribed circle. A circle inscribedin a polygon intersects each line that contains a side of the polygon at exactly one point.

  13. MP and LP are angle bisectors of ∆LMN. 1. Find the shortest distance from P to MN. 2. Find mPMN.

  14. QX and RX are angle bisectors of ΔPQR. • Find the distance from • X to PQ. • 2. Find mPQX. Check It Out! Example 3a

  15. A city plans to build a firefighters’ monument in the park between three streets. Draw a sketch to show where the city should place the monument so that it is the same distance from all three streets. Justify your sketch.

  16. 1.ED, FD, and GD are the perpendicular bisectors of ∆ABC. Find BD. 2.JP, KP, and HP are angle bisectors of ∆HJK. Find the distance from P to HK. Lesson Quiz: Part I

  17. Lesson Quiz: Part II 3. Lee’s job requires him to travel to X, Y, and Z. Draw a sketch to show where he should buy a home so it is the same distance from all three places.
