====Concept #: Concurrency of medians in triangles.====

=====Concept #: Concurrency of medians in triangles.=====

Median of a triangle is a line segment from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. A triangle has three medians. Each median divides the triangle into two smaller triangles of equal area. The medians of a triangle are concurrent and the point of concurrence is called the centroid. The centroid is always inside the triangle. The centroid is exactly two-thirds the way along each median. i.e the centroid divides each median into two segments whose lengths are in the ratio 2:1, with the longest one nearest the vertex.

====Concept #: Concurrency of altitudes in triangles====

=====Concept #: Concurrency of altitudes in triangles=====

The distance between a vertex of a triangle and the opposite side is called the altitude of the triangle. Altitude also refers to the length of the segment. Altitudes can be used to compute the area of a triangle: one half of the product of an altitude's length and its base's length equals the triangle's area. A triangle has 3 altitudes. The intersecting point of 3 altitudes of a triangle is known as orthocentre of the triangle. This point may be inside, outside, or on the triangle. If the triangle is obtuse, it will be outside. If the triangle is acute, the orthocentre is inside the triangle. The orthocenter on a right triangle would be directly on the 90° vertex. From Greek: orthos - &quot;straight, true, correct, regular&quot; The point where the three altitudes of a triangle intersect. One of a triangle's points of concurrency.

An altitude of a triangle is a line segment that is drawn from the vertex to the opposite side and is perpendicular to the side.  A triangle can have three altitudes. Point of intersection of these lines for different types of triangles is explored.

====Concept #:  Concurrency of Perpendicular bisectors in a triangle====

=====Concept #:  Concurrency of Perpendicular bisectors in a triangle=====

The perpendicular bisector of a triangle is the perpendicular drawn to a line segment which divides it into two equal parts. The point where the three perpendicular bisectors of a triangle meet is called the circumcentre of a triangle. The circumcentre of a triangle is equidistant from all the three sides vertices of the triangle. This common distance is the crcumradius. The circumcentre is also the center of the triangle's circumcircle - the circle that passes through all three of the triangle's vertices. The circumcentre of a triangle lies inside or on a side or outside the triangle according as the triangle is acute or right angled or obtuse. The circumcentre of a right angled triangle is the mid-point of its hypotenuse. Latin: circum - "around" centrum - "center"

====Concept #: Concurrency of angle bisectors in triangles.====

=====Concept #: Concurrency of angle bisectors in triangles.=====

The ray which bisects an angle is called the angle bisector of a triangle. The point of concurrence of angle bisectors of a triangle is called as incentre of the triangle. The incentre always lies inside the triangle. The distance from incentre to all the sides are equal and is referred to as inradius. The circle drawn with inradius is called incircle and touches all sides of the triangle.
