Question

Which statement shows a difference between medians and altitudes of all triangles?

An altitude connects the vertex of the triangle to the opposite side dividing the side into equal segments but a median does not.

A median divides the vertex of the triangle into two angles of equal measure but an altitude does not.

An altitude divides the area of a triangle in equal parts but a median divides it into two parts in which the area of one part is twice the area of the other.

A median lies inside a triangle but an altitude can lie outside the triangle.

Answer 1

what does your textbook say??

Answer 2

And what do you think it is?

Answer 3

Well I know a median is a segment within a triangle whose endpoints are the vertex of a triangle and the middle point of the opposite side and the altitude is the shortest segment between a vertex of a triangle and its opposite side

Answer 4

The median of the triangle is a segment that connects the vertex of the triangle to the midpoint of the side opposite to the vertex.

Answer 5

I was thinking it was the second answer. Which would be A median divides the vertex of the triangle into two angles of equal measure but an altitude does not.

Answer 6

The altitude of the triangle is a segment that connects the vertex of the triangle to the side opposite to the triangle, which intersects that side at exactly 90°. In other words, the altitude is perpendicular to the side opposite to the vertex, that the altitude connects.
