Revision Notes
1. Using the deductive approach to solve geometric problems that involve triangles.
Based on the properties or conditions of congruent triangles, similar triangles and isosceles triangles, we can use deductive approach to prove and obtain more geometric results.
2. Some special lines in a triangle

(a) An angle bisector is a line segment which divides an angle into two equal parts.
. In the figure, AD is the angle bisector of .
(b) A perpendicular bisector is a line which bisects a side and is perpendicular to that side.

(c) A median is a line segment which joins a vertex to the mid-point of its opposite side.
. In the figure, BD is a median.
(d) An altitude is a perpendicular line segment which drops from a vertex to its opposite side.

. In the figure, BD is an altitude.
3. Triangle Inequality
a

b
In any triangle, the sum of the lengths of any two sides is always longer than the length of the third side.
. In the figure, a + b > c,
b + c > a,
c + a > b.

(a) The 3 angle bisectors of a triangle are always concurrent.
The point of intersection is called the in-centre.
A circle (inscribed circle) can be constructed with
the in-centre as the centre and touching the 3 sides
of the triangle.
. In the figure, I is the in-centre
and PQR is the inscribed circle.
(b) The 3 perpendicular bisectors of a triangle are always concurrent.
