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.

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.
What is the median of an isosceles triangle is the same segment in the triangle?
Altitude APEXX
If is both the altitude and median of triangle ABC then triangle ABC is?
It is isosceles.
If is both the altitude and median of triangle ABC then triangle ABC is .?
It is isosceles.
Can the median of an equilateral triangle be longer than its altitude?
For the equilateral triangle in Euclidean space(i.e, the triangles you see in general) median is the same as its altitude. So, both are of equal length.
What is one difference between an altitude and a median of a triangle?
An altitude is a perpendicular drawn from a point to the opposite segment while a median is a segment drawn from a point to the opposite side such that it bisects the side.Altitudes and their concurrenceMedians and their concurrence
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.
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
If a median of a triangle is also an altitude of a triangle then is the triangle isosceles?
Yes
A segment that connects a vertex of a triangle to the midpoint of the opposite side?
median or altitude * * * * * Median: Yes Altitude: No.
Can the altitude from the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle be the median?
If the triangle is really isosceles, and it's not lying on one of the equal sides, then the altitude is always a median.
What is the median of an isosceles triangle is the same segment in the triangle?
Altitude APEXX
If is both the altitude and median of triangle ABC then triangle ABC is?
It is isosceles.
If is both the altitude and median of triangle ABC then triangle ABC is .?
It is isosceles.
What triangle has an altitude which is also a median and angle bisector?
An isosceles or an equilateral triangle perhaps?
Can the median of an equilateral triangle be longer than its altitude?
For the equilateral triangle in Euclidean space(i.e, the triangles you see in general) median is the same as its altitude. So, both are of equal length.
What median of an isosceles triangle is the same segment in the triangle as the leg bisector hypotenuse altitude?
It is the median which divides the side which is not one of the equal sides.
