Front

What is a Median in a triangle?

Back

A median is a line segment that connects a vertex of a triangle to the midpoint of the opposite side.

Front

What is a Perpendicular Bisector?

Back

A perpendicular bisector is a line that divides a line segment into two equal parts at a 90-degree angle.

Front

What is an Angle Bisector?

Back

An angle bisector is a line that divides an angle into two equal angles.

Front

What is an Altitude in a triangle?

Back

An altitude is a perpendicular segment from a vertex to the line containing the opposite side.

Front

How many medians does a triangle have?

Back

A triangle has three medians, one from each vertex.

Front

How many perpendicular bisectors does a triangle have?

Back

A triangle has three perpendicular bisectors, one for each side.

Front

How many angle bisectors does a triangle have?

Back

A triangle has three angle bisectors, one for each angle.

Front

How many altitudes does a triangle have?

Back

A triangle has three altitudes, one from each vertex.

Front

What is the relationship between the medians of a triangle?

Back

The three medians of a triangle intersect at a point called the centroid, which divides each median into a 2:1 ratio.

Front

What is the relationship between the perpendicular bisectors of a triangle?

Back

The three perpendicular bisectors of a triangle intersect at a point called the circumcenter, which is equidistant from all three vertices.
