Answer 3

Okay, so allow me to define each of these:

A median joins a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. The diagram shows all three medians which are concurrent at a point called the centroid:


An altitude passes through a vertex and is at right-angles to the opposite side. The diagram shows all three altitudes which are concurrent at a point called the orthocentre:






A perpendicular bisector passes through the midpoint of a side and at right-angles to that side. The diagram shows all three perpendicular bisectors which are concurrent at a point called the circumcentre (the centre of the surrounding circle).

Answer 4

An angle bisector is the line or line segment that divides the angle into two equal parts:
