<strong>Four</strong> <strong>Centers</strong> <strong>of</strong> a <strong>Triangle</strong> <strong>Answers</strong><strong>Name</strong> <strong>KEY</strong><strong>For</strong> <strong>questions</strong> 1 – 6, choose the best answer.1. Which point <strong>of</strong> concurrency is shown in thediagram?3. Which triangle's center is never outside thetriangle?(1) orthocenter only(2) incenter only(3) both orthocenter and circumcenter(4) both incenter and centroid4. Find JN .(1) centroid(2) circumcenter(3) incenter(4) orthocenter2. Which point <strong>of</strong> concurrency is shown in thediagram?(1) centroid(2) circumcenter(3) incenter(4) orthocenter(1) 16 cm(2) 12 cm(3) 513 cm(4) 4 cm5. The altitudes <strong>of</strong> a triangle are concurrent at apoint called the(1) centroid(2) circumcenter(3) incenter(4) orthocenter6. The medians <strong>of</strong> a triangle are concurrent at apoint called the(1) centroid(2) circumcenter(3) incenter(4) orthocenterComplete each statement using always, sometimes or never.7. A perpendicular bisector <strong>of</strong> a triangle _____________ ALWAYS passes through the midpoint <strong>of</strong> a side <strong>of</strong> the triangle.8. The angle bisectors <strong>of</strong> a triangle _____________ ALWAYS intersect at a single point.9. The angle bisectors <strong>of</strong> a triangle _____________ NEVER meet at a point outside the triangle.10. The circumcenter <strong>of</strong> a triangle _____________ SOMETIMES lies outside the triangle.


<strong>For</strong> #11 – 14, find the indicated measure.11. The perpendicular bisectors <strong>of</strong> RST meet atpoint D. Find DR .CircumcenterDR = 913. The angle bisectors <strong>of</strong> GHJ meet at point K.Find KB .IncenterKB = 312. The angle bisectors <strong>of</strong> XYZ meet at point W.Find WB .14. The perpendicular bisectors <strong>of</strong> MNP meet atpoint Q. Find QN .IncenterWB = 20CircumcenterQN = 25<strong>For</strong> # 15 – 18, use the given figure and information:P is the centroid <strong>of</strong> DEF . EH ⊥ DF , DH = 9 , DG = 7.5 , EP = 8 and DE = FE .15. Find the length <strong>of</strong> FH . 97.51516. Find the length <strong>of</strong> EH . 12CentroidEP:PH=2:14917. Find the length <strong>of</strong> PH . 418. Find the perimeter <strong>of</strong> DEF . 482 29 + 12 =81+ 144 =225 =( EF )( EF )2( EF )22EF = 15
