No. Not if the triangle is right angled (the intersection is AT the right vertex) or obtuse angled (intersection outside).

Can an angle bisector of a triangle always intersect inside the triangle?

The angle bisectors always intersect inside the triangle. (This is not true for altitudes and right bisectors.)


Do the medians of a triangle always intersect inside the triangle?

Yes.


How do you make a model of median and altitude of a triangle?

median intersect each other at a point inside triangle and altitude intrsect eachother at apoint outside triangle


Which statement about an altitude of a triangle is always true?

An altitude intersects another altitude at the centroid. FALSE - The altitudes intersect at what is called the orthocenter.An altitude intersects another altitude at its midpoint. FALSE - The altitudes will meet at random intersection points.An altitude is present inside a triangle FALSE - The altitude can be outside the triangle.An altitude makes a right angle with a side of the triangle. TRUE - An altitude is the line from a vertex to the opposite side, forming a right angle.


Do the three altitudes of an obtuse triangle always intersect inside the triangle?

No.


Will the medians always intersect inside an acute triangle?

Yes.


Will medians sometimes intersect inside a acute triangle?

Always.


Do angle bisectors always intersect inside the triangle?

Yes.


Where can the bisect it's of angles of an right triangle intersect?

As with any triangle, inside the triangle.


Where can the bisectors of the angles of an obtuse triangle intersect?

inside the triangle ;) hope this helps!!


Is the three perpendicular bisector of a triangle intersect at a point in the exterior of the triangle true or false?

The three ANGLE bisectors of a triangle also bisect the sides, and intersect at a point INSIDE the triangle. The angle bisectors are not necessarily perpendicular to them. The perpendicular bisectors of the sides can intersect in a point either inside or outside the triangle, depending on the shape of the triangle.


What are the characteristics of orthocenter?

The orthocenter of a triangle is the point where the altitudes of the triangle intersect. It may lie inside, outside, or on the triangle depending on the type of triangle. In an acute triangle, the orthocenter lies inside the triangle; in a right triangle, it is at the vertex opposite the right angle; and in an obtuse triangle, it is outside the triangle.
