Use the Perpendicular Bisector Theorems

A. Find the measure of BC.

Answer: 8.5

BC = AC Perpendicular Bisector Theorem

BC = 8.5 Substitution

C. Find the measure of PQ.

PQ = RQ Perpendicular Bisector Theorem

3x + 1 = 5x – 3 Substitution

1 = 2x – 3 Subtract 3x from each side.

4 = 2x Add 3 to each side.

2 = x Divide each side by 2.

So, PQ = 3(2) + 1 = 7.

Use the Circumcenter Theorem

GARDEN A triangular-shaped garden is shown. Can a fountain be placed at the circumcenter and still be inside the garden?

By the Circumcenter Theorem, a point equidistant from three points is found by using the perpendicular bisectors of the triangle formed by those points.

Use the Circumcenter Theorem

Answer: No, the circumcenter of an obtuse triangle is in the exterior of the triangle.

Copy ΔXYZ, and use a ruler and protractor to draw the perpendicular bisectors. The location for the fountain is C, the circumcenter of ΔXYZ, which lies in the exterior of the triangle.

Use the Incenter Theorem

A. Find SU if S is the incenter of ΔMNP.

Find SU by using the Pythagorean Theorem.

a2 + b2 = c2 Pythagorean Theorem

82 + SU2 = 102 Substitution

64 + SU2 = 100 82 = 64, 102 = 100

SU2 = 36 Subtract 64 from each side.

SU = ±6 Take the square root of each side.

Use the Incenter Theorem

Answer: SU = 6

Since length cannot be negative, use only the positive square root, 6.

Use the Incenter Theorem

B. Find SPU if S is the incenter of ΔMNP.

Since MS bisects RMT, mRMT = 2mRMS. So mRMT = 2(31) or 62. Likewise, TNU = 2mSNU, so mTNU = 2(28) or 56.

Use the Incenter Theorem

UPR + RMT + TNU = 180 Triangle Angle Sum Theorem

UPR + 62 + 56 = 180 SubstitutionUPR + 118 = 180 Simplify.

UPR = 62 Subtract 118 from each side.

Since SP bisects UPR, 2mSPU = UPR. This means

that mSPU = UPR. __12

Answer: mSPU = (62) or 31__12
