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

mayaal · Answer

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.

how would you define it on this?

mayaal · Answer

they r congruent.

amistre64 · Answer

well, the n lengths are congruent; but that doesnt really define the median and altitude for me

amistre64 · Answer

median relates to middle .... it divides line segment in half

an altitude is just a 90 degree drop
