A median of a triangle is a line or segment that passes through a vertex and the side opposite that vertex?
A median of a triangle is a line or segment that passes through a vertex and the midpoint of the side opposite that vertex. The median only bisects the vertex angle from which it is drawn when it is an isosceles triangle.
Which term describes a line segment that connects a vertex of a triangle to a point on the line containing the opposite side so that the segment is perpendicular to that line?
The description given fits that of a right angle triangle
Which term describes a line segment that connects a vertex of a triangle to a point on the line containing the opposite sideso that the line segment is perpendicular to that line?
Altitude
What is a line segment connecting the vertex of a triangle perpendicular to the opposite side?
It is an altitude.
What is the perpendicular segment from one vertex of a triangle to the opposite side or the line that contains the opposite side?
Altitude.
What is the difference between a median and the altitude of a triangle?
A median of a triangle is a line segment joining a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. Altitude of a triangle is a straight line through a vertex and perpendicular to the opposite side or an extension of the opposite side.
Is it possible for one line segment to be a median an angle biseptor and an altitude all at the same time?
yes in an equilateral triangle
What is the triangle median?
Triangle median is the line segment that joins a vertex to the middle of opposing side.
A median of a triangle is a line or segment that passes through a vertex and bisects the side the vertex?
A median of a triangle is a line or segment that passes through a vertex and bisects the side of the triangle opposite the vertex.
Is it possible for a segment to be a perpendicular bisector angle bisector median and altitude of a triangle?
Yes. If you have an isosceles triangle standing up on the unequal side, thenthe line segment from the top vertex perpendicular to the base is all of these.
An altitude of a triangle is a line or segment through a vertex and to the line containing the opposite side?
Altitude
What is the difference between altitude angle bisector and median?
The altitude is the segment from an angle of a triangle to the side opposite of the angle which is intersected perpendicularly by the altitude., the angle bisector cuts an angle into two congruent angles, and a median forms two congruent line segments.
Is median and the altitude of a triangle the same?
The median is a line from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite line and an altitude is a line from a vertex to the opposite line which is perpendicular to the line. These are NOT the same thing in most triangles. The only time they could be the same is in an equilateral triangle.
A median of a triangle is a line or segment that passes through a vertex and the side opposite that vertex?
A median of a triangle is a line or segment that passes through a vertex and the midpoint of the side opposite that vertex. The median only bisects the vertex angle from which it is drawn when it is an isosceles triangle.
What is the altitude of a triangle?
A segment from the vertex of a triangle perpendicular to the line containing the opposite side
How do you make median triangle of QSRTPU?
A triangle median is a line segment from a vertex to the midpoint of the line segment opposite the vertex. Each triangle has three medians and they all meet at a single point. To make a triangle of QSRTPU, you would need more information.
An altitude of a triangle is a line or segment that passes through a vertex of the triangle and is to the line containing the opposite side?
perpendicular
