Which point of Which point of Which point of concurrency is concurrency is concurrency is this? this? this? This is an incenter. The segments This is an orthocenter. The This is a centroid. The segments shown are angle bisectors. segments shown are altitudes. shown are medians. (This is shown with the “arc marks” (They are perpendicular but they (The endpoints are at a vertex and where the angles are bisected.) are not bisectors and an endpoint is the midpoint of the opposite sides. at a vertex.) Thus, they bisect the side.) What is a point of What does equidistant The ______ is concurrency? mean? equidistant from all 3 vertices. The point where three When a point is the The or more lines or same distance from circumcenter segments intersect. two or more objects.
