3. Perpendicular bisectors and the circumcentre

  • A perpendicular bisector of a side bisects the side at right angles.
  • A triangle has three sides, so three perpendicular bisectors can be drawn.
  • The three perpendicular bisectors of the sides of a triangle are concurrent.

4. Altitudes and the orthocentre

  • An altitude is a perpendicular drawn from a vertex to the opposite side.
  • A triangle has three vertices, so three altitudes can be drawn.
