Cleaver (geometry)

In geometry, a cleaver of a triangle is a line segment that bisects the perimeter of the triangle and has one endpoint at the midpoint of one of the three sides.

  • Each cleaver is parallel to one of the angle bisectors of the triangle.
  • The three cleavers concur at that center of the Spieker circle.
