What does dilating a point by a factor of 1/2 mean?
dividing x- and y-coordinates by 2
Figure out if triangle ABC with coordinates A(-3, 8), B(-9, 0), and C(5, 2) is isosceles.
it is isosceles! AB = 10 AC = 10
Use the distance formula to prove that P is the midpoint of MN. M (2, 3) P (10, 9) N (18, 15)
it is! MP = 10 PN = 10
Define median.
line extending from a vertex of a triangle to the *midpoint* of the opposite side
Define altitude.
line extending from a vertex of a triangle, *perpendicular* to the other side
Define concurrency.
point where 3 or more lines meet
The medians in a centroid are divided by the point of concurrency. What do we know about the length of the two divided parts?
the longer line segment is double the length of the smaller line segment, meaning the whole median is 3 times the length of the smaller line segment
The average of the x-values & the average of the y-values for 2 points is always...
the midpoint coordinates
What is an orthocenter?
the point of concurrency of the *altitudes* of a triangle
What is an incenter?
the point of concurrency of the *angle bisectors* of a triangle — creates congruent triangles
What is an centroid?
the point of concurrency of the *medians* of a triangle
What is a circumcenter?
the point of concurrency of the *perpendicular bisectors* of a triangle
What is the relationship between the line segments extending from the vertices to the circumcenter of the triangle?
they are equal
Determine the equation of the perpendicular bisector JK whose endpoints are J(-4, 9) and K(6, 1).
