Use the Perpendicular Bisector Theorems
A. Find the measure of BC.
BC = AC
Perpendicular Bisector Theorem
BC = 8.5

Use the Perpendicular Bisector Theorems
C. Find the measure of PQ.
PQ = RQ
3x + 1 = 5x – 3
Substitution
1 = 2x – 3
Subtract 3x from each side.
4 = 2x
Add 3 to each side.
2 =x
Divide each side by 2.
So, PQ = 3(2) + 1 = 7.

Use the Circumcenter Theorem
GARDEN A triangular-shaped garden is shown.
Can a fountain be placed at the circumcenter and
still be inside the garden?
By the Circumcenter Theorem, a point equidistant from
three points is found by using the perpendicular bisectors
of the triangle formed by those points.
Use the Circumcenter Theorem
Copy ΔXYZ, and use a ruler and protractor to draw the
perpendicular bisectors. The location for the fountain is
C, the circumcenter of ΔXYZ, which lies in the exterior of
the triangle.
C
Answer: No, the circumcenter of an obtuse triangle is in
the exterior of the triangle.
BILLIARDS A triangle used to
rack pool balls is shown. Would
the circumcenter be found
inside the triangle?
A. No, the circumcenter of an acute
triangle is found in the exterior
of the triangle.

B. Find WYZ.
Use the Angle Bisector Theorems
WYZ  XYZ
Definition of angle bisector
mWYZ = mXYZ
Definition of congruent angles
mWYZ = 28
Substitution
Answer: mWYZ = 28
Use the Angle Bisector Theorems
C. Find QS.
QS = SR
4x – 1 = 3x + 2
x–1 =2
x =3
Angle Bisector Theorem
Substitution
Subtract 3x from each side.
Add 1 to each side.
Answer: So, QS = 4(3) – 1 or 11.

Use the Incenter Theorem
A. Find SU if S is the incenter
of ΔMNP.
Find SU by using the
Pythagorean Theorem.
a2 + b2 = c2
Pythagorean Theorem
82 + SU2 = 102
Substitution
64 + SU2 = 100
82 = 64, 102 = 100
SU2 = 36
Subtract 64 from each
side.
SU = ±6
Take the square root of
each side.
Use the Incenter Theorem
Since length cannot be negative, use only the positive
square root, 6.
Answer: SU = 6
Use the Incenter Theorem
B. Find SPU if S is the incenter
of ΔMNP.
Since MS bisects RMT, mRMT = 2mRMS. So
mRMT = 2(31) or 62. Likewise, TNU = 2mSNU, so
mTNU = 2(28) or 56.
Use the Incenter Theorem
UPR + RMT + TNU = 180
UPR + 62 + 56 = 180
UPR + 118 = 180
UPR = 62
Triangle Angle Sum
Theorem
Substitution
Simplify.
Subtract 118 from each
side.
Since SP bisects UPR, 2mSPU = UPR. This means
1 UPR.
