What is the main focus of the second assignment of the week?

• Understanding the Pythagorean theorem

• Studying the properties of circles

• Learning about parallel lines and angles

• Identifying medians, altitudes, angle bisectors, and perpendicular bisectors

Where does a median in a triangle start?

• From the midpoint of a side

• From a vertex

• From the center of the triangle

• From the base

What condition must be met for a line to be considered a median?

• It must be perpendicular to a side

• It must be parallel to a side

• It must bisect an angle

• It must divide the opposite side into two equal parts

What is the main characteristic of a median in a triangle?

• It divides the opposite side into two equal parts

• It connects the midpoints of two sides

• It is parallel to the base

• It is perpendicular to a side

What is an altitude in a triangle?

• A line that is parallel to the base

• A line that divides a side into two equal parts

• A line that is perpendicular to a side and passes through the opposite vertex

• A line that bisects an angle

Does an altitude need to divide the opposite side into two equal parts?

• Yes, always

• No, it just needs to be perpendicular

• Yes, but only in right triangles

• No, it must be parallel to the base

What is the primary function of an altitude in a triangle?

• To be perpendicular to a side and pass through the opposite vertex

• To divide a side into two equal parts

• To divide an angle into two equal parts

• To be parallel to the base

What is the defining feature of an angle bisector?

• It divides a side into two equal parts

• It is parallel to the base

• It is perpendicular to a side

• It divides an angle into two equal parts
