The labels seem confusing, so I will construct the points again on this triangle. The points were correct, so I can assume that H, G, and C always remain in a line; however, the incenter does not appear on that line. Now let's construct the the three secondary triangles, the medial triangle, the orthic triangle, and the triangle around the orthocenter.
Take the acute triangle ABC. The G,H, and C stayed in the same line in all three triangles. Many of the points were the same for two of the triangles. When the circumcircle of each of the three secondary triangles is constructed, they are the same circle. The red triangle was constructed by connecting the midpoints of the sides of the original triangle.
The blue triangle was constructed by finding the orthocenter of the original triangle, connecting the orthocenter to the three vertices, finding the midpoint of each side, and then connecting those three midpoints.
The circumcircle was constructed around each of the three secondary triangles, and all three circumcircles were the same circle which is difficult to see on one construction. Let's look at the nine point circle. It is constructed through the three midpoints of the sides, the three feet of the altitudes, and the three midpoints of the segments connecting the vertices to the orthocenter. N is the center of the nine point circle.
Let's see if it still on the same line when the triangle changes shape. The center of the nine point circle remains on the same line as the orthocenter, circumcenter, and centroid of the circle. The perpendicular bisectors of a triangle are perpendicular lines through the midpoints of each side.
The three altitudes of a triangle are perpendicular lines from the verteces to the opposite sides. The incenter is equidistant from the three sides of the triangle and is the center of the inscribed circle. Since a point interior to an angle that is equidistant from the two sides of the angle lies on the angle bisector, then the Incenter must be on the angle bisector of each angle of the triangle. A bisector is something that cuts an object into two equal parts.
It is applied to angles and line segments. In verb form, we say that it bisects the other object. Definition of circumcenter. For example, consider the line segment containing the end points A and B and midpoint P.
These points are said to be equidistant if the distance between the point A and P is equal to the distance between the point P and B, that means the point P is the mid point of A and B.
The same distance from each other, or in relation to other things. Example: parallel lines are always equidistant. Another Example: point B is equidistant from points A and C try moving them around.
A perpendicular bisector of a given line segment is a line or segment or ray which is perpendicular to the given segment and intersects the given segment at its midpoint thus "bisecting" the segment. The perpendicular bisector of a line segment is the set of all points that are equidistant from its endpoints.
When it is exactly at right angles to PQ it is called the perpendicular bisector. The Incenter of a triangle The point where the three angle bisectors of a triangle meet. One of several centers the triangle can have, the incenter is the point where the angle bisectors intersect. The incenter is also the center of the triangle's incircle - the largest circle that will fit inside the triangle.
The Centroid is a point of concurrency of the triangle. It is the point where all 3 medians intersect and is often described as the triangle's center of gravity or as the barycent.
Properties of the Centroid. It is formed by the intersection of the medians. It is one of the points of concurrency of a triangle. Incenter - Circumcenter Difference. A circle inscribed inside a triangle is called the incenter , and has a center called the incenter.
A circled drawn outside a triangle is called a circumcircle, and it's center is called the circumcenter. This circle is the largest circle that will fit inside the triangle. Misty has a triangular piece of backyard where she wants to build a swimming pool. How can she find the largest circular pool that can be built there? The largest possible circular pool would have the same size as the largest circle that can be inscribed in the triangular backyard.
The largest circle that can be inscribed in a triangle is incircle. This can be determined by finding the point of concurrency of the angle bisectors of each corner of the backyard and then making a circle with this point as center and the shortest distance from this point to the boundary as radius. Find the length J O. Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length H O.

Bisectors in a Triangle Perpendicular bisector The perpendicular bisector of a side of a triangle is a line perpendicular to the side and passing through its midpoint.
