Triangle

Centroid

1. The centroid of a triangle is the intersection of the three medians of the triangle .

Circumcenter

1. The Circumcenter of a triangle can be found as the intersection of any two of the three perpendicular bisectors .

 

Experiment with the free-form simulation below:

 

Use above simulation to answer the following questions?

Q1: Under what condition(s) will centroid, circumcenter, incenter & orthocenter of a triangle be collinear ( lie on a single straight line)?

Q2: Under what condition(s) will centroid, circumcenter, incenter & orthocenter of a triangle be coincident on a single point)?

Q3: Which point is the average of all the points on any triangle? Why?
