Answer to Problem 8CT
a) Point of intersection of perpendicular bisector of sides is the mid point of hypotenuse b) Vertex
c) Ortho centre
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Right
Description:
a) The Pythagorean theorem states that: In any right triangle, the area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares whose sides are the two legs (the two sides that meet at a right angle). so the answer is Point of intersection of perpendicular bisector of sides is the midpoint of hypotenuse
b) The circumcentre lies inside the triangle for acute triangles, on the hypotenuse for right triangles and lies outside the triangle for obtuse triangles. The circumcentre coincides with the midpoint of the hypotenuse if it is an isosceles right triangle.
c) The three altitudes of a triangle intersect at the orthocentre, which for an acute triangle is inside the triangle.
