OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

they are saying AE = EB. which means CE is bisecting AB right ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

AE = BE.. so what is a line frm aa vertex dividing the opposite side in half called as??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer would be "bisecting"? right?

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

its is biecting. thats half correct. also if you notice it is coming from the opposite vertex C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm it would be.. but a median is more appropriate since its in a triangle..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so rsadhvika what would you say? median or biecting?

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

A median goes through a vertex and bisects the side opposite. So its a median.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank yo guys so much helped a lot

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

A bisector doesnt necessarily pass through the vertex. so median is the correct answer here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay I get it know
