Perpendicular Bisectors
of a triangle…
C
• bisect each side at a right angle
• meet at a point called the circumcenter
• The circumcenter is equidistant from the 3 vertices
of the triangle.
• The circumcenter is the center of the circle that is
circumscribed about the triangle.
• The circumcenter could be located inside, outside,
or ON the triangle.
Angle Bisectors
of a triangle…
I
• bisect each angle
• meet at the incenter
• The incenter is equidistant from the 3
sides of the triangle.
• The incenter is the center of the circle that
is inscribed in the triangle.
• The incenter is always inside the circle.
