What triangle has an altitude which is also a median and angle bisector?

An isosceles or an equilateral triangle perhaps?


Is the altitude of an isosceles triangle the angle bisector of the vertex?

Yes, provided that the base is not one of the 2 equal sides. And it's also the perpendicular bisector of the base.


What are 2 properties of an isosceles triangle?

-- An isosceles triangle has two equal sides. -- An isosceles triangle has two equal angles. -- An isosceles triangle has two equal interior-angle bisectors. -- The bisector of the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle is also the perpendicular bisector of the triangle's base.


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.


Is a perpendicular bisector always an angle bisector?

thank goodness for my math teacher, norm! he said only in an isosceles triangle. The bisector of the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle is perpendicular to the base! =)


Can an altitude be a perpendicular bisector?

Yes - the altitude of an equilateral triangle is perpendicular to the side chosen as the base and bisects that side and the opposite angle. Also, the altitude of an isosceles triangle when measured from the third side (the side that is not equal to the other two sides) is a perpendicular bisector of the base and also bisects the opposite angle.


What is hypotenuse in an isosceles triangle?

Only a right triangle has a hypotenuse. An isosceles triangle can be a right triangle but it doesn't have to be. If it's not, then it doesn't have a hypotenuse.


How do you determine that an isosceles triangle is an isosceles right triangle?

If the non-right angles are 45 degrees each. or If the sides adjacent to the right angle are equal. There are other properties that may be used instead. For example, the perpendicualr bisector of the hypotenuse bisects the right angle of the triangle.


What triangle must always have at least one angle bisector that is also a perpendicular bisector?

any isosceles triangle


How you can draw a altitude with isosceles triangle?

The altitude line is perpendicular to the base and bisects the apex of the isosceles triangle.


When can the leg of an isosceles triangle be used as the height of the triangle?

Yes if the isosceles triangle is a right isosceles triangle because that leg opposite the hypotenuse is the height


Is the altitude of a triangle always the perpendicular bisector?

No.
