Bisectors of Triangles
Before you begin Chapter 5
Read each statement.
Decide whether you Agree (A) or Disagree (D) with the statement.
Write A or D in the first column OR if you are not sure whether you agree or disagree,
write NS (Not Sure).
STEP 2
A or D
Statement
1. Any point that is on the perpendicular bisector of a
segment is equidistant from the endpoints of that
segment.
2. The circumcenter of a triangle is equidistant from the

midpoints of each side of the triangle.
4. Three altitudes can be drawn for any one triangle.
A
A
5. A median of a triangle is any segment that contains the

midpoint of a side of the triangle.
6. The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is always

greater than the measures of either of its corresponding
remote interior angles.
7. The longest side in a triangle is opposite the smallest

angle in that triangle.
8. To write an indirect proof that two lines are

perpendicular, begin by assuming the two lines are not
perpendicular.
A1
9. The length of the longest side of a triangle is always

greater than the sum of the lengths of the other two
sides.
If a point is equidistant from the endpoints of a segment, then it is on the

perpendicular bisector of the segment.
Circumcenter Theorem
The perpendicular bisectors of the sides of a triangle intersect at a point called

the circumcenter that is equidistant from the vertices of the triangle.

Reread each statement and complete the last column by entering an A or a D.
Did any of your opinions about the statements change from the first column?
For those statements that you mark with a D, use a piece of paper to write an example
of why you disagree.

Medians and Altitudes of Triangles
Medians
Inscribed and Circumscribed Circles
A median is a line segment that connects a vertex of a triangle to the midpoint

of the opposite side. The three medians of a triangle intersect at the centroid of the
triangle. The centroid is located two thirds of the distance from a vertex to the midpoint of
the side opposite the vertex on a median.
The three angle bisectors of a triangle intersect in a single point called the incenter. This
point is the center of a circle that just touches the three sides of the triangle. Except for the
three points where the circle touches the sides, the circle is inside the triangle. The circle is
said to be inscribed in the triangle.

a. Based on the information in the

figure, which of the two cities are
nearest to each other?
Sample answer: The string

divides the triangle in two; one of
these triangles is right or obtuse
because one side of the string
must make a right or obtuse
angle with the stick. In this
triangle, the side opposite the
right or obtuse angle is longer
than the string and that side is
also a side of the triangle.

The Triangle Inequality
More Counterexamples
If you take three straws of lengths 8 inches, 5 inches, and

1 inch and try to make a triangle with them, you will find that it is not possible. This
illustrates the Triangle Inequality Theorem.
Some statements in mathematics can be proven false by counterexamples. Consider

the following statement.
For any numbers a and b, a - b = b - a.

Triangle Inequality
Theorem
You can prove that this statement is false in general if you can nd one
example for which the statement is false.
The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a

triangle must be greater than the length of the third side.
Example
The measures of two sides of a triangle are 5 and 8. Find a range
for the length of the third side.
In general, for any numbers a and b, the statement a - b = b - a is false.

You can make the equivalent verbal statement: subtraction is not a
commutative operation.
By the Triangle Inequality Theorem, all three of the following inequalities must be true.
5+x>8

More Counterexamples
If you take three straws of lengths 8 inches, 5 inches, and

1 inch and try to make a triangle with them, you will find that it is not possible. This
illustrates the Triangle Inequality Theorem.
Some statements in mathematics can be proven false by counterexamples. Consider

the following statement.
For any numbers a and b, a - b = b - a.

Triangle Inequality
Theorem
You can prove that this statement is false in general if you can nd one
example for which the statement is false.
The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a

triangle must be greater than the length of the third side.
Example
The measures of two sides of a triangle are 5 and 8. Find a range
for the length of the third side.
In general, for any numbers a and b, the statement a - b = b - a is false.

You can make the equivalent verbal statement: subtraction is not a
commutative operation.
By the Triangle Inequality Theorem, all three of the following inequalities must be true.
5+x>8
8+x>5
5+8>x
x>3
x > -3
13 > x
Therefore x must be between 3 and 13.

Theorem, the distance from

the straight distance from Tanyas
home to the Supermarket.
a. Draw the figure that is the result

of turning the original figure 60
counterclockwise about A. Denote by
P', the image of P under this turn.
See figure.
Sample answer: PA is
congruent to P'A and mPAP'
is 60, So by SAS, triangle
PP'A is equilateral. Thus,
PP' = PA
Sample answer: Let S be the

Supermarket and T be Tanyas
home. Because SAB is 90,
mSBA < 90, so mSBC > 90,
making SC > SB. Similarly,
CT > BT. Therefore
CT + CS > BT + BS.

6. TOOLS Rebecca used a spring clamp to hold together a chair

leg she repaired with wood glue. When she opened the clamp,
she noticed that the angle between the handles of the clamp
decreased as the distance between the handles of the clamp
decreased. At the same time, the distance between the
gripping ends of the clamp increased. When she released the
handles, the distance between the gripping end of the clamp
decreased and the distance between the handles increased.
Is the clamp an example of the Hinge Theorem or its converse?

5. RUNNERS A photographer is taking
pictures of three track stars, Amy, Noel,

3. WALKWAY Tyree wants to make two

slightly different triangles for his
walkway. He has three pieces of wood
to construct the frame of his triangles.
After Tyree makes the first concrete
triangle, he adjusts two sides of the
triangle so that the angle they create
is smaller than the angle in the first
triangle. Explain how this changes the
triangle.

a. Based on the information in the

figure, list the runners in order from
nearest to farthest from the
photographer.
Amy, Beth, Noel
Sample answer: By the Hinge

Theorem, the third side opposite
the angle that was made smaller is
now shorter than the third side of
the first triangle.
b. Explain how to locate the point along

the semicircular curve that the
runners are on that is farthest away
from the photographer.
Extend the line through the

photographer and the center
of the semicircle to where it
intersects the semicircular
track.

Hinge Theorem
The Hinge Theorem that you studied in this section states that if two sides of a
triangle are congruent to two sides of another triangle and the included angle in
one triangle has a greater measure than the included angle in the other, then the
third side of the first triangle is longer than the third side of the second triangle. In
this activity, you will investigate whether the converse, inverse and contrapositive
of the Hinge Theorem are also true.
X
A20
Hypothesis: XY = QR, YZ = RS, m1 > m2

Conclusion: XZ > QS
1. What is the converse of the Hinge Theorem?
2. Can you find any counterexamples to prove that the converse is false?
No, it appears to be true.

3. What is the inverse of the Hinge Theorem?
If two sides of a triangle are not congruent to two sides of another

triangle or the included angle in one triangle does not have a greater
measure than the included angle in the other, then the third side of the
first triangle is not longer than the third side of the second triangle.
4. Can you find any counterexamples to prove that the inverse is false?

5. What is the contrapositive of the Hinge Theorem?
6. Can you find any counterexamples to prove that the contrapositive is false?

If the third side of the first triangle is not longer than the third side of the
second triangle, then the other two sides are not congruent or the
included angle does not have a greater measure.
If two sides of one triangle are congruent to two sides of another

triangle, and the third side of the first is longer than the third side
of the second, then the included angle of the first is larger than the
included angle of the second.
