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

An isosceles or an equilateral triangle perhaps?


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.


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.


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! =)


Is this true If a median an altitude and an angle bisector are the same segment in a triangle the triangle is scalene?

No, it's not true.


If a point is equidistant from the two sides of an angle then it is?

on the perpendicular bisector


What is the difference between and angle bisector and a perpendicular bisector?

An angle bisector bisects an angle. A perpendicular bisector bisects a side.


Which types of triangles must always have at least one angle bisector that is also a perpendicular bisector?

iscoceles triangle! =)


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

any isosceles triangle


Does rhombus have angle bisector?

Any shape which has an angle can have an angle bisector.


Will drawing an angle bisector always result in two acute angles?

Not if you bisect a reflex angle.
