  2. Bisection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisection

    The interior perpendicular bisector of a side of a triangle is the segment, falling entirely on and inside the triangle, of the line that perpendicularly bisects that side. The three perpendicular bisectors of a triangle's three sides intersect at the circumcenter (the center of the circle through the three vertices). Thus any line through a ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straightedge_and_compass...

    Constructing the perpendicular bisector from a segment; Finding the midpoint of a segment. Drawing a perpendicular line from a point to a line. Bisecting an angle; Mirroring a point in a line; Constructing a line through a point tangent to a circle; Constructing a circle through 3 noncollinear points; Drawing a line through a given point ...

  4. Concurrent lines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrent_lines

    In a triangle, four basic types of sets of concurrent lines are altitudes, angle bisectors, medians, and perpendicular bisectors: A triangle's altitudes run from each vertex and meet the opposite side at a right angle. The point where the three altitudes meet is the orthocenter.

  5. Mixtilinear incircles of a triangle - Wikipedia

    Draw the incenter by intersecting angle bisectors. Draw a line through I {\displaystyle I} perpendicular to the line A I {\displaystyle AI} , touching lines A B {\displaystyle AB} and A C {\displaystyle AC} at points D {\displaystyle D} and E {\displaystyle E} respectively.

  6. Triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangle

    A triangle whose sides are all the same length is an equilateral triangle, [3] a triangle with two sides having the same length is an isosceles triangle, [4] [a] and a triangle with three different-length sides is a scalene triangle. [7] A triangle in which one of the angles is a right angle is a right triangle, a triangle in which all of its ...

  7. Thales's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thales's_theorem

    The perpendicular bisectors of any two sides of a triangle intersect in exactly one point. This point must be equidistant from the vertices of the triangle. One way of formulating Thales's theorem is: if the center of a triangle's circumcircle lies on the triangle then the triangle is right, and the center of its circumcircle lies on its ...

  8. Perpendicular - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perpendicular

    The segment AB is perpendicular to the segment CD because the two angles it creates (indicated in orange and blue) are each 90 degrees. The segment AB can be called the perpendicular from A to the segment CD, using "perpendicular" as a noun. The point B is called the foot of the perpendicular from A to segment CD, or simply, the foot of A on CD ...

  9. Isosceles triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isosceles_triangle

    In an isosceles triangle that has exactly two equal sides, the equal sides are called legs and the third side is called the base. The angle included by the legs is called the vertex angle and the angles that have the base as one of their sides are called the base angles. [7] The vertex opposite the base is called the apex. [8]
