Step 1
- Altitudes: Perpendicular lines drawn from a vertex to the opposite side (or its extension). - Medians: Lines drawn from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. - Sides: The edges of the triangle. Show more…

For what type of triangle is the centroid the same as the intersection of altitudes and the intersection of angle bisectors? Is it possible that the altitudes of a triangle meet, when extended, outside the triangle? Explain.

Triangles
Given a triangle with vertices A, B and C. The center of the circle that is inscribed in the triangle is (a) the intersection of any two altitudes of the triangle. (b) the intersection of any two angle bisectors of the triangle. (c) the intersection of any two perpendicular bisectors of the triangle. (d) the intersection of any two median of the triangle. (e) the intersection of an angle bisector and an altitude of the triangle.

In equilateral triangle $A B C, \overline{A E}, \overline{B F},$ and $\overline{C D}$ are all angle bisectors, medians, and altitudes simultaneously. These three segments divide the equilateral triangle into six overlapping $30^{\circ}-60^{\circ}-90^{\circ}$ triangles and six smaller, non-overlapping $30^{\circ}-60^{\circ}-90^{\circ}$ triangles. a. One of the overlapping triangles is $\triangle C D B$. Name the other five triangles that are congruent to it. b. One of the non-overlapping triangles is $\triangle M D A$. Name the other five triangles congruent to it. CAN'T COPY THE FIGURE
