is this a txtbook question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Here is the selections:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Umm...not sure about this one...sorry...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A perpendicular bisector is a segment that is perpendicular to a segment at it’s midpoint. ( 90 degrees ) Perpendicular Bisector Theorem: If a point is on the perpendicular bisector of a segment, then it is equidistant from the endpoints of the segment. A median of a triangle is a segment whose endpoints are a vertex of the triangle and the midpoint of the opposite side. Concurrency of Medians of a Triangle Theorem The medians of a triangle intersect at a point that is two-thirds of each segment. The altitudes of a triangle is the perpendicular segment from a vertex to the opposite side or to the line that contains the opposite side. • Concurrency of Altitudes Theorem The lines containing the altitudes of a triangle are concurrent.

Well. It's all properties of triangles. You just have to imagine it. Also you have to memorize the terminology...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think thats right
