Properties of a Triangle
· A triangle has three types of centers:
o Centroid: a point of intersection of all medians.
o Incenter: a point of intersection of all right bisectors of all sides.
o Orthocenter: a point of intersection of all altitudes of a triangle.
· Characteristics of an isosceles triangles:
o Isosceles Triangle Theorem (ITT) states: “The angles opposite the equal sides are equal.”
o Dividing an isosceles triangle from the vertex between the equal angles results in two equal halves.
· If two shapes are same in size, they’re called congruent.
· It two shapes are same but have different dimensions, they’re considered similar.
