100
Created by connecting the midpoint of a side of a triangle to the opposite vertex

200
When you change a statement to have the opposite truth value
What is negation
200
A segment formed by connecting the midpoints of two sides of a triangle
What is a midsegment
200
Created by negating both the hypothesis and the conclusion
What is an inverse
200
The centroid of a triangle divides the median into two parts. The vertex-side of the median is what fraction of the entire length of the median
What is 2/3

400
A circle centered at the point where all the perpendicular bisectors intersect
What is a circumcircle
500
A point where two or more lines intersect
What is a point of concurrency
500
A point formed by the intersection of altitudes
What is an orthocenter
500
What are the steps for an indirect proof
1. Assume the opposite of what you want to prove 2. Logic until you get a contradiction 3. Conclude the Assumption must have been false, therefore it's opposite is true
