Answer 10

the term assessment and one exam on you link suggest that its exam question (or its graded), which you are not allowed to ask in openstudy.

Answer 11

The moderator has spoken. Sorry, @jhonathanceballos .

@hartnn and its not an assessment or exam. and yes its over and thats why im asking for help

@terenzreignz , continue if you want to.

Answer 16

ok thank you @hartnn

Answer 17

Seems in your choices, you have medians and altitudes involved.

Remind me again what medians and altitudes are? :)

Answer 18

median is the numerical value separating the higher half of a data sample and altitutes its the shortest distance from its top (vertex) to its opposite side (base). @terenzreignz

Answer 19

Recheck your meaning of median, and remember, the context is geometry, not statistics.

Answer 20

is the middle number!

Answer 21

It certainly has something to do with middles, but no numbers. You don't see any numbers where your triangle is concerned, now do you? :)

Answer 22

no

Answer 23

So, what's the median, when triangles are concerned?

Answer 24

the median is when it divides the triangle

Answer 25

The median is a segment from one of the corners of a triangle to the midpoint of its opposite side.

Answer 26

oh ok,thank you. i still dont know the answer

Answer 27

Well, is there a line (segment) that goes from one vertex of the triangle to a midpoint of one of its opposite side?

Answer 28

yes

Answer 29

Which one?

Answer 30

Answer 31

Then how do you know that there is one, if you're not sure? :P

Answer 32
