What triangle are one median and one altitude?
None. Altitudes may coincide with the sides of a triangle but medians cannot. So every triangle must have 3 distinct medians.
Name all types of triangles for which the point of concurrency is inside the triangle?
The answer depends on what point of concurrency you are referring to. There are four segments you could be talking about in triangles. They intersect in different places in different triangles. Medians--segments from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. In acute, right and obtuse triangles, the point of concurrency of the medians (centroid) is inside the triangle. Altitudes--perpendicular segments from a vertex to a line containing the opposite side. In an acute triangle, the point of concurrency of the altitudes (orthocenter) is inside the triangle, in a right triangle it is on the triangle and in an obtuse triangle it is outside the triangle. Perpendicular bisectors of sides--segments perpendicular to each side of the triangle that bisect each side. In an acute triangle, the point of concurrency of the perpendicular bisectors (circumcenter) is inside the triangle, in a right triangle it is on the triangle and in an obtuse triangle it is outside the triangle. Angle bisectors--segments from a vertex to the opposite side that bisect the angles at the vertices. In acute, right and obtuse triangles, the point of concurrency of the angle bisectors (incenter) is inside the triangle.
Are the medians of a triangle equidistant from each vertex?
Every triangle has three medians, just like it has three altitudes, angle bisectors, and perpendicular bisectors. The medians of a triangle are the segments drawn from the vertices to the midpoints of the opposite sides. The point of intersection of all three medians is called the centroid of the triangle. The centroid of a triangle is twice as far from a given vertex than it is from the midpoint to which the median from that vertex goes. For example, if a median is drawn from vertex A to midpoint M through centroid C, the length of AC is twice the length of CM. The centroid is 2/3 of the way from a given vertex to the opposite midpoint. The centroid is always on the interior of the triangle.
What is the answer for triangle abc?
There can be no answer.First, there is no information on the triangle. Second, what is the question about: do you want the lengths of sides, the perimeter, the measures of angles, the area, the lengths of medians, altitudes, the radius of the incentre, orthocentre, circumcentre. Or do you just want to know what colour it is?
What kind of triangle has two sides of equal length?
An isosceles triangle is a triangle that has two sides of equal length.
What kind of triangle will be produced if one of its medians is perpundicular to the opposite side of that triangle?
In an isosceles triangle, one of the medians is perpendicular to the opposite side of that triangle. In an equilateral triangle, all three medians are perpendicular to the sides of that triangle.
What is the point equidistant from the three sides of a triangle?
The point equidistant from the three sides of a triangle is the center of the triangle. The center of the triangle is the point of intersection of the medians of the triangle. The medians of a triangle are the line segments that join the vertices of the triangle to the midpoints of the opposite sides.
What triangle are one median and one altitude?
None. Altitudes may coincide with the sides of a triangle but medians cannot. So every triangle must have 3 distinct medians.
Is median is a angle bisector?
A median is a line drawn from the centre of a side of a triangle to the opposite vertex. Only in two cases does it also bisect the angle :- 1) All three medians of an equilateral triangle bisect the angle of the opposite vertex. 2) One median (from the unequal side to the enclosed angle of the two equal sides) bisects the angle of the opposite vertex.
Does the centroid of the triangle coincide with the intersection of medians?
yes because is has 3 sides and all of the corners intersect
Does the centroid of the triangle coincide with the intersection of its medians?
yes because is has 3 sides and all of the corners intersect
Does the centroid of the triangle coincide with the intersection of it's medians?
yes because is has 3 sides and all of the corners intersect
If you extend a ray that bisects an angle of a triangle so that it passes through the opposite side will it bisect the opposite side?
Only in an equilateral triangle will bisectors of the three angles bisect the opposite sides. In an isosceles triangle, only the bisector of the one different angle will bisect the opposite side (between the identical angles).

What are the three lines of symmetry on an equilateral triangle?
They are the lines joining each of the vertices to the mid-points of the opposite sides. In an equilateral triangle, these lines are the medians, angle bisectors, altitudes and perpendicular bisectors of the sides - all in one!
Are the medians of a triangle equidistant from each vertex?
Every triangle has three medians, just like it has three altitudes, angle bisectors, and perpendicular bisectors. The medians of a triangle are the segments drawn from the vertices to the midpoints of the opposite sides. The point of intersection of all three medians is called the centroid of the triangle. The centroid of a triangle is twice as far from a given vertex than it is from the midpoint to which the median from that vertex goes. For example, if a median is drawn from vertex A to midpoint M through centroid C, the length of AC is twice the length of CM. The centroid is 2/3 of the way from a given vertex to the opposite midpoint. The centroid is always on the interior of the triangle.
What are the number of lines of symmetry in an equilateral triangle?
The three lines joining each vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. They are also the medians, altitudes and perpendicular bisectors of the sides. In an equilateral triangle these are coincident.
