Math Problem Statement
-
The midsegment that joins the ____________________ of two sides of a triangle.
-
The that divides a segment into two _______________ parts and is_______ to the segment.
-
______________________ is the point at which the three perpendicular bisectors intersect in an acute triangle.
If Y is the circumcenter of △STU, find each measure.
Solution
Answers:
-
Midpoints
The midsegment that joins the midpoints of two sides of a triangle. -
Perpendicular Bisector
The perpendicular bisector divides a segment into two congruent parts and is perpendicular to the segment. -
Circumcenter
The circumcenter is the point at which the three perpendicular bisectors intersect in a triangle.
Finding Measurements:
If is the circumcenter of , the following apply:
- The circumcenter is equidistant from the vertices of the triangle.
- Distances .
To calculate specific measures, you will need the coordinates or geometry of the triangle (e.g., side lengths or coordinate points).
