5.6 Incenter Theorem The angle bisectors of a triangle intersect at a point called the incenter that is equidistant from the sides of the triangle. The point of concurrency of the angle bisectors is called an incenter. 5.7 Centroid Theorem The medians of a triangle intersect at a point called the centroid that is 2/3 of the distance from each vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. The point of concurrency of the medians is called the centroid. An altitude of a triangle is a segment from a vertex to the line containing the opposite side and ⊥ the line containing that side. The lines containing the altitudes of a triangle are concurrent, intersecting at a point called the orthocenter. Concurrent lines are the 3 ⊥ bisectors, or the 3 angle bisectors, or the 3 medians, or the 3 altitudes drawn in a triangle. The altitude, median, ⊥ bisector, or the angle bisector 2.
