Median of a Triangle
Defn: Median of a Triangle: A segment is a median of a triangle iff one endpoint is a vertex of the triangle and the other endpoint is the midpoint of the side opposite that vertex.

Centroids
The medians of a triangle will always intersect at the same point - the centroid. The centroid of a triangle is located 2/3 of the distance from the vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side.

The 3 perpendicular bisectors of any triangle will intersect at a point that is equidistant from the vertices of the triangle. This point is called the circumcenter and is the center of a circle that contains all 3 vertices of the triangle.

Altitudes of Triangles
Defn: Altitude of a Triangle: A segment is an altitude of a triangle iff one endpoint is a vertex of the triangle and the other endpoint is on the line containing the opposite side such that the segment is perpendicular to line.

Altitudes of Triangles
Every triangle has 3 altitudes that will always intersect in the same point.

Angle Bisectors of TrianglesEvery triangle has 3 angle bisectors which will always intersect in the same point - the incenter. The incenter is the same distance from all 3 sides of the triangle. The incenter of a triangle is also the center of a circle that will intersect each side of the triangle in exactly one point.
