Geometry Honors: 5.1 - 5.2 Practice: Find The Value of Each Variable

This document contains geometry practice problems involving special segments and points of concurrency in triangles. Students are asked to match pictures of special segments like altitudes and angle bisectors to their names, and match points of concurrency like the orthocenter and centroid to facts about their locations. The document then provides a series of problems to find coordinates of points like medians, centroids, and circumcenters of various triangles.

Geometry Honors: 5.1 - 5.2 Practice

1. Match each picture to the special segment shown. You will use each segment more than once.

Altitude

Angle Bisector

Perpendicular Bisector

Median

2. Match each point of concurrency to the special segment and to the correct fact about its location.

Orthocenter Medians Equidistant from vertices

Incenter Altitudes Equidistant from sides

Circumcenter Angle Bisectors 2(smaller segment)=larger section

Centroid Perpendicular Bisectors No location fact
