Weekly Blog 11
Hello everyone!
This past week in geometry we learned all about points of concurrency in a triangle. A concurreny point is where 3 or more lines all intersect in one point. The four lines that have concurrency points are medians, altitudes, perpendicular bisectors, and altitudes. Each one has a specific name for its point of concurrency. Our teacher, Ms. Jovanovich, taught us this acronym to help us remember, MAPA COCI (where the M corresponds with the C). Here it is in action:
Median- Centroid
Altitude- Orthocenter
Perpendicular bisector- Circumcenter
Altitude- Incenter
I hope this helps you, I know it sure helped me!
Until next time,
Emma
