Block: ___________________
Groups 1 and 4 Find the circumcenter of a triangle using coordinate geometry. Show all
equations and formulas.
Groups 2 and 5 Find the centroid of a triangle using coordinate geometry. Show all equations
and formulas.
Groups 3 and 6 Find the orthocenter of a triangle using coordinate geometry. Show all
equations and formulas.
Activity Two:
Meet with your new team. Find the circumcenter, median, and orthocenter of the new problem.
Each member should lead the discussion on the topic he/she studied in activity one. Every team
member will work on the same problem.
Activity Two:
Each team member is responsible for teaching the material they learned in activity one to help
solve the following problem.
Using coordinate geometry and algebra, find the coordinates of the circumcenter, centroid, and
orthocenter of triangle ABC with vertices at A (-8, 0), B (0, -2), and C (6, 4). You must show
your work including equations to get credit for the answer.
Circumcenter: _________
Centroid: _____________
Orthocenter: __________
