Median

Segment w/endpoints vertex + midpoint of opposite side

2
New cards

Centroid

Point of concurrency of the medians of a triangle, center of gravity, always inside

Centroid Theorem

The centroid of a triangle is located 2/3 of the distance from each vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side

4
New cards

Altitude

Perpendicular segment from vertex → line containing the opposite side. Outside in obtuse triangles, vertex of right triangle, inside acute triangles

New cards

Orthocenter

Point of concurrency of the altitudes - can be in, on, out
