Special Segments in Triangles

  • Perpendicular Bisector: A line or line segment that passes through the midpoint and is perpendicular to that side
  • Perpendicular Bisector Theorems:
    • Any point on the perpendicular bisector of a segment is equidistant from the endpoints of the segment
    • Any point equidistant from the endpoints of a segment lies on the perpendicular bisector of the segment
  • Median: A segment that connects a vertex of a triangle to the midpoint of the side opposite the vertex
  • Altitude: A segment with one endpoint at the vertex and the other on the side opposite that vertex so that the segment is perpendicular to the side
  • Angle Bisector: A segment with one endpoint on the vertex and the other on the side opposite so that it divides the angle into two congruent angles
  • Angle Bisector Theorems:
    • Any point on the bisector of an angle is equidistant from the sides of the angle
    • Any point on or in the interior of an angle and equidistant from the sides of an angle lies on the bisector of the angle
