Segments in Triangles

Which segment is the line that is perpendicular from the vertex to the opposite side?

• Altitude

• Median

• Angle Bisector

• Perpendicular Bisector

Altitude:

• perpendicular from vertex to the opposite side

• from vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side

• cuts the angle in half

• perpendicular to the side and cuts it in half
