In this image, you have a geometry quiz question asking you to match different types of triangle centers to the corresponding segments used to define them.

Here are the correct matches:

1. **Centroid** → a. **Medians**  
   The centroid is the point where the three medians of a triangle intersect. A median is a segment connecting a vertex of the triangle to the midpoint of the opposite side.

2. **Incenter** → c. **Angle Bisectors**  
   The incenter is the point where the three angle bisectors of a triangle intersect. The angle bisector of a triangle divides each angle into two equal parts.

3. **Orthocenter** → d. **Altitudes**  
   The orthocenter is the point where the three altitudes of a triangle intersect. An altitude is a perpendicular segment from a vertex to the line containing the opposite side.

4. **Circumcenter** → b. **Perpendicular Bisectors**  
   The circumcenter is the point where the three perpendicular bisectors of a triangle intersect. A perpendicular bisector is a line that is perpendicular to a side of the triangle and passes through its midpoint.

Would you like more details on any of these concepts? Let me know!

Here are 5 related questions to think about:
1. What happens to the location of the centroid in an isosceles triangle?
2. Can the orthocenter ever lie outside of the triangle?
3. How does the incenter differ from the circumcenter in terms of distances to the sides or vertices?
4. Why is the centroid sometimes called the "center of mass" of a triangle?
5. How can you construct the circumcenter of a triangle using a compass and straightedge?

**Tip:** For every triangle, the centroid always divides each median into two segments, where the longer part is twice the length of the shorter part.

Match the type of center to the segments used to it.

Options:
1. Centroid
2. Incenter
3. Orthocenter
4. Circumcenter

Segments:
(a) Medians
(b) Perpendicular Bisectors
(c) Angle Bisectors
(d) Altitudes
