Overview

Concurrent lines are three or more lines that meet at exactly one point. This chapter explores four important types of concurrent lines in triangles: angle bisectors, perpendicular bisectors, altitudes, and medians. Each type has a special point of concurrency with unique properties. Understanding t

Key Concepts

The three angle bisectors of

The three angle bisectors of a triangle are concurrent at a point called the incentre (I). This point is equidistant from all three sides of the trian

The three perpendicular bisectors of

The three perpendicular bisectors of the sides of a triangle are concurrent at a point called the circumcentre (O). This point is equidistant from all

The three altitudes of a triangle

The three altitudes of a triangle are concurrent at a point called the orthocentre (H). An altitude is a perpendicular from a vertex to the opposite s

The three medians of a triangle

The three medians of a triangle are concurrent at a point called the centroid (G). A median joins a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. Step-
