  15. Special Segments • What is the Centroid Conjecture? • Example • Define Center of Gravity • What is the Center of Gravity Conjecture? • The centroid of a triangle divides each median into two parts so that the distance from the centroid to the vertex is twice the distance from the centroid to the midpoint of the opposite side. • The balanced point of an object. • The centroid of a triangle is the center of gravity of the triangular region.

  16. Median Middle • 1st: Find the midpoint of each side • 2nd: Draw a segment from each midpoint to the vertex of the opposite angle. • All three medians intersect at one point. • Point of Concurrency is called Centroid center of gravity FYI: The distance from vertex to centroid is 2/3 of median The distance from midpoint to centroid is 1/3 of median

  30. Special Segments of TrianglesFind each measure. • 1. MN  • 2. BC  • 3. TU  • Given that DE = 20.8, DG = 36.4, and EG =36.4, find EF.

  33. Special Segments of Triangles • 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. In the construction, you saw that the three perpendicular bisectors of a triangle are concurrent. This point of concurrency is the circumcenter of the triangle.

  34. Special Segments of Triangles • The circumcenter can be inside the triangle, outside the triangle, or on the triangle.

  35. Special Segments of Triangles • 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.

  36. Special Segments of TrianglesFind each measure. • 1. GC  2.a. GM • b. GK  • c. JZ 

  37. Materials: Ruler Protractor Compass Special Segments of Triangles • 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.

  38. Special Segments of Triangles • Unlike the circumcenter, the incenter is always inside the triangle

  39. Special Segments of Triangles • 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

  42. Special Segments of TrianglesFind each measure. • 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.

  43. Special Segments of Triangles • A median of a triangleis a segment whose endpoints are a vertex of the triangle and the midpoint of the opposite side. • Every triangle has three medians, and the medians are concurrent.

  44. Special Segments of Triangles • The point of concurrency of the medians of a triangle is the centroid of the triangle. The centroid is always inside the triangle. The centroid is also called • the center of gravity because it is the point where a triangular region will balance.

  45. Special Segments of TrianglesFind each measure. • 1. In ∆LMN, RL = 21 and SQ =4. • A. Find LS • B. Find NQ. • 2. In ∆JKL, ZW = 7, and LX = 8.1. Find LZ.

  46. Special Segments of Triangles • An altitude of a triangle is a perpendicular segment from a vertex to the line containing the opposite side. • Every triangle has three altitudes. An altitude can be inside, outside, or on the triangle.

  47. Special Segments of Triangles • In ΔQRS, altitude QY is inside the triangle, but RX and SZ are not. Notice that the lines containing the altitudes are concurrent at P. This point of concurrency is the orthocenter of the triangle.
