A segment that connects a vertex of a triangle to the midpoint of the opposite side?
median or altitude * * * * * Median: Yes Altitude: No.
In an isosceles triangle does the median to the base bisect the vertex angle?
In the diagram, ABC is an isoscels triangle with the congruent sides and , and is the median drawn to the base . We know that ∠A ≅ ∠C, because the base angles of an isosceles triangle are congruent; we also know that ≅ , by definition of an isosceles triangle. A median of a triangle is a line segment drawn from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. That means ≅ . This proves that ΔABD ≅ ΔCBD. Since corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent, that means ∠ABD≅ ∠CBD. Since the median is the common side of these adjacent angles, in fact bisects the vertex angle of the isosceles triangle.
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 the altitude of a triangle is a segment whose endpoints are a vertex of a triangle and the midpoints of the side opposite the vertex?
Yes but only if it's an equilateral or an isosceles triangle otherwise it's the vertical perpendicular height
A median of a triangle is a line or segment that passes through a vertex and bisects the side the vertex?
A median of a triangle is a line or segment that passes through a vertex and bisects the side of the triangle opposite the vertex.
In an isosceles triangle what are the altitude and media?
In an isosceles triangle, the altitude from the vertex angle to the base bisects the base and is also the median, as it divides the triangle into two congruent right triangles. This altitude is perpendicular to the base, creating two equal segments. Consequently, in an isosceles triangle, the altitude, median, and angle bisector from the vertex angle to the base are all the same line segment.
When is a median and an altitude the same segment?
In an isosceles or equilateral triangle, when from the vertex that is different from the others.
Can altitude and median be same in acute angled triangle?
Yes, in an acute-angled triangle, the altitude and median can be the same for a specific vertex. This occurs when the triangle is isosceles, where the altitude from the vertex opposite the base not only serves as the height but also bisects the base, acting as the median. However, this is not generally true for all acute-angled triangles.
A median of a triangle is a line or segment that passes through a vertex and the side opposite that vertex?
A median of a triangle is a line or segment that passes through a vertex and the midpoint of the side opposite that vertex. The median only bisects the vertex angle from which it is drawn when it is an isosceles triangle.

What is the difference between a median and the altitude of a triangle?
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.
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.
Does a median divide a triangle into two congruent triangles?
Yes * * * * * No. A median is a line from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. It divides the triangle into congruent parts only if the triangle is equilateral or if the triangle is isosceles and it is the median from the unequal vertex. In all other cases the two parts will not be congruent.
Is median and the altitude of a triangle the same?
The median is a line from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite line and an altitude is a line from a vertex to the opposite line which is perpendicular to the line. These are NOT the same thing in most triangles. The only time they could be the same is in an equilateral triangle.
How many lines of symetry does isosceles triangle have?
Only one line of symmetry, it is the line that contains the median of the isosceles triangle (that passes through the vertex and perpendicular to the base).
