Which of the statements about the picture below is true? Choose 3. postimg(.)org/image/qb71bjkjh/f11870c4/ A. F is the circumcenter of the triangle<< B. F is the incenter of the triangle C. F is the point of concurrency of the perpendicular bisector of the sides of the triangle D. F is the point lf concurrent of the angle bisector of the angles of the triangle E. F is equipped from the angles of the triangle F. F is equidistant from the three sides of the triangle. I know A is one of the answers..
Can you upload your question's picture ?
That makes sense now!
yes sorry about that! i thought i had uploaded it with the question..
No problem. What did you get? Any ideas?
i know one of the answers is a. i don't think it's b but i'm not aure about the others
**sure
Are you familiar with that? http://www.mathopenref.com/triangleincenter.html http://www.mathopenref.com/trianglecircumcenter.html
yup
wouldn't the circle go outside og the triangle though?
- When the circle goes outside the triangle (touches its three vertex), so it is called "triangle's circumcircle". - When the circle is confined into a triangle (its circumference is tangent to the triangle's sides from inside), so it is called "triangle's incircle".
oh ok, f is where all the segments meet so i guess that would be the incenter?
- When the circle goes outside the triangle (touches its three vertex), so it is called "triangle's circumcircle".....and its center (the circumcenter) is the point where the perpendicular bisectors of a triangle intersect.... and this is our case.. agree?
i agree
That is very good! So A is with us....
- When a circle is confined into a triangle (its circumference is tangent to the triangle's sides from inside), so it is called "triangle's incircle", and its center, called the incenter, is the intersection of the angle bisectors. Does F match this condition?
yes?
So \(F\) is also the incenter of the triangle... in other words, B is with us...agree?
yes i agree
is the last one D?
D is also correct and matches the point F.... but what about C?
Hmm C could be correct also but doesn't it need one more bisector
"doesn't it need one more bisector" Do you mean that it needs to the third perpendicular bisector to meet \(F\)?
yeah
No, @Sageee the point of intersection of two indeed is the intersection of the three together! and that is applied on the angles' bisectors and the perpendicular bisectors as well ...
Oh ok! But my question only has 3 answers so now I'm not sure which answers to choose..
WHich are these three?
A and B are for sure but I'm sure if I should choose C or D
I am sure that E and F are out.,.,.,., agree?
So I think it is D for sure!
