Use altitudes and find the orthocenters of triangles. Using the Median of a Triangle median of a triangle is a segment from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. The three medians of a triangle are concurrent. The point of concurrency, called the centroid, is inside the triangle. Theorem Theorem 6.7 entroid Theorem The centroid of a triangle is two-thirds of the distance from each vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. The medians of meet at point, and =, =, and =. roof igideasmath.com inding the entroid of a Triangle Use a compass and straightedge to construct the medians of.

S = SW entroid Theorem 8 = SW Substitute 8 for S. 1 = SW Multiply each side by the reciprocal,. Then W = SW S = 1 8 = 4. So, W = 4 and SW = 1. 0 hapter 6 Relationships Within Triangles

3 INING N NTRY OINT The median SV is chosen in xample because it is easier to find a distance on a vertical segment. JUSTIYING ONLUSIONS You can check your result by using a different median to find the centroid. RING In the area formula for a triangle, = 1 bh, you can use the length of any side for the base b. The height h is the length of the altitude to that side from the opposite vertex. inding the entroid of a Triangle ind the coordinates of the centroid of RST with vertices R(, 1), S(5, 8), and T(8, ). Step 1 Graph RST. Step Use the Midpoint ormula to find the midpoint V of RT and sketch median SV. V ( + 8, 1 + ) = (5, ) Step ind the centroid. It is two-thirds of the distance from each vertex to the midpoint R(, 1) of the opposite side. 4 The distance from vertex S(5, 8) to V(5, ) is 8 = 6 units. So, the centroid is (6) = 4 units down from vertex S on SV. So, the coordinates of the centroid are (5, 8 4), or (5, 4). Monitoring rogress There are three paths through a triangular park. ach path goes from the midpoint of one edge to the opposite corner.

The altitudes of the obtuse triangle are extended to find the orthocenter. cute triangle is inside triangle. Right triangle is on triangle. inding the Orthocenter of a Triangle Obtuse triangle is outside triangle. ind the coordinates of the orthocenter of XYZ with vertices X( 5, 1), Y(, 4), and Z(, 1). Step 1 Graph XYZ. y x = Step ind an equation of the line that contains the altitude from Y to XZ. ecause XZ 5 is Y (, ) horizontal, the altitude is vertical. The y = x + 4 line that contains the altitude passes through Y(, 4). So, the equation of 1 the line is x =. 1 1 x Step ind an equation of the line that contains the altitude from X to YZ. slope of YZ = 1 4 ( ) = 1 X Z ecause the product of the slopes of two perpendicular lines is 1, the slope of a line perpendicular to YZ is 1. The line passes through X( 5, 1). y = mx + b Use slope-intercept form. 1 = 1( 5) + b Substitute 1 for y, 1 for m, and 5 for x. 4 = b Solve for b. So, the equation of the line is y = x + 4. Step 4 ind the point of intersection of the graphs of the equations x = and y = x + 4. Substitute for x in the equation y = x + 4. Then solve for y. y = x + 4 Write equation. y = + 4 Substitute for x. y = Solve for y. So, the coordinates of the orthocenter are (, ).
