Aim #10: How do we construct a circumcenter and an incenter? CC Geometry H Do Now: Construct the perpendicular bisector of each side. B A C When three or more lines intersect in a single point, they are concurrent, and the point of intersection is the point of concurrency. In the diagram above, • label D, E, and F, the midpoints of AB, BC and AC, respectively. • mark the right angles • mark the congruent segments. • label P, the circumcenter 1. P is equidistant from A and B since it lies on the perpendicular bisector of ____. 2. P is equidistant from B and C since it lies on the perpendicular bisector of ____. 3. P is equidistant from A and C since it lies on the perpendicular bisector of ____. 4. Therefore, ____ = ____ = ____ 5. Draw circle P with radius PA. The intersection of the three perpendicular bisectors of a triangle is the circumcenter, the center of the circumscribed circle drawn above. The circumscribed circle is a circle that passes through every vertex of a triangle. The circumcenter can be located inside, outside or on the triangle. Using your compass and straightedge, construct the circumcenter Q of ΔABC. Then draw the circumscribed circle. ∆ABC is a(n) __________ triangle, therefore the circumcenter is located __________ of the triangle. A C B How can you find the center of a circle, by construction, if the center is not shown? The intersection of the threeangle bisectors of a triangle is theincenter, the center of the inscribed circle. The inscribed circle is inside the triangle, and touches each of the sides in exactly one point. 1. Using your compass and straightedge, construct the incenter Q of ΔABC. B A C 2. State your steps for the above construction. 3. Any point on an angle bisector is _____________________ from the sides forming the angle. Since Q is on the angle bisector of ABC, it is _________________ from ___ and ___. Similarly, since Q is on the angle bisector of BCA, it is ___________________ from ____ and ____. Therefore, Q must also be equidistant from ___ and ___, since it lies on the bisector of BAC. Point Q is the point of ___________________ of the three angle bisectors. • The point of concurrency of the angle bisectors must be inside the triangle. • The point of concurrency of the angle bisectors is equidistant from the three sides when the perpendicular segment is drawn. 4. Point A is the _____________________ of ΔJKL. Point B is the ____________________of ΔRST. 5. Construct the incenter and the inscribed circle. Let's Sum it Up!! The incenter of a triangle is the center of the circle that is inscribed in that triangle.
