Flashcards Triangles

This document defines and describes various segments and points related to triangles. It discusses perpendicular bisectors, angle bisectors, altitudes, medians, and points of concurrency like the incenter, circumcenter, and centroid. Key properties are outlined, such as perpendicular bisectors bisecting the side and forming the circumcenter, angle bisectors bisecting angles and forming the incenter, and medians bisecting sides and forming the centroid.
