CENTROID

The center of gravity of a triangle, where the three medians of the triangle intersect

ORTHOCENTER

The orthocenter of a triangle is the point where all three of its altitudes intersect.

CIRCUMCENTER

The point where the three perpendicular bisectors of the sides of a triangle meet

CIRCUMCIRCLE

The circumcircle or circumscribed circle of a polygon is a circle which passes through all the vertices of the polygon. The center of this circle is called the circumcenter.

INCENTER

The incenter of a triangle or regular polygon is the point where the angle bisectors meet.

INCIRCLE

It is the largest circle that will fit inside the triangle.

MEDIAL TRIANGLE

It is the small triangle with vertices at the midpoints of a bigger triangle

MID-SEGMENT TRIANGLE ORTHOCENTER

A midsegment of a triangle is a segment connecting the midpoints of two sides of a triangle.

 

ORTHIC TRIANGLE

The triangle joining the feet of the altitudes of a triangle is called the orthic triangle.

PEDAL TRIANGLE

The pedal triangle is the triangle whose vertices are the feet of the perpendiculars from the point to the sides of the given triangle.

NINE POINT CIRCLE

It is a circle that passes through nine significant concyclic points defined from the triangle

CENTER OF THE NINE POINT CIRCLE

The center of the circle defined above

TRISECTING A LINE SEGMENT

Dividing a segment into three equal parts

EQUILATERAL TRIANGLE GIVEN ONE SIDE

Equilateral triangles have equal sides and angles. Here one is constructed given one side.

SQUARE GIVEN A SIDE

Four equal sides and four ninety degree angles define a square. Here one is constructed given a side.

ISOSCELES TRIANGLE GIVEN BASE AND ALTITUDE

Isosceles triangles have two equal sides and two equal angles. Here one is constructed given a base and altitude

TRIANGLE CENTERS

Orthocenter, Centroid, Circumcenter and Incenter

TRIANGLE CENTERS WITH EULER LINES

It is a line that passes through several important points determined from the triangle, including the orthocenter, the circumcenter, the centroid, and the center of the nine-point circle of the triangle.

LOCUS VERTEX OF A FIXED ANGLE SUBTENDING A FIXED VERTEX

Here one is constructed

DIVIDE A SEGMENT AB INTO TWO PARTS THAT FORM A GOLDEN RATION

Here one is constructed

PENTAGON GIVEN A RADIUS

A polygon with five sides and five angles. Here one is constructed given a radius

PENTAGON GIVEN A SIDE

A polygon with five sides and five angles. Here one is constructed given a side

HEXAGON GIVEN A SIDE

A polygon with six sides and six angles. Here one is drawn given a side

OCTAGON GIVEN A SIDE

A polygon with eight sides and eight angles. Here one is drawn given a side
