The median of a triangle is a segment with one endpoint at a vertex and one end point at the midpoint of the opposite side The blue segment is the median The median of a triangle is a segment with one endpoint at a vertex and one end point at the midpoint of the opposite side The blue segments are medians Question: Every ∆ has medians The blue segments are medians The medians always meet at a common point. This median meeting point is called the centroid. The green point is the: Question: Click where the other endpoint of the median will be - - - Click where the other endpoint of the median will be - - - Click where the other endpoint of the median will be - - - Altitude is the height of the triangle. It is the perpendicular segment from a vertex to the opposite side The green segment is the altitude Altitude is the height of the triangle. It is the perpendicular segment from a vertex to the opposite side The green segments are the altitudes All triangles have 3 altiutudes. The altitude meeting point is the orthocenter. Question: The altitudes meet at the: Click where the other endpoint of the altitude will be - - - Click where the other endpoint of the altitude will be - - - Click where the other endpoint of the altitude will be - - - Which is the altitude? . . . . Altitude Median Altitudes Medians Altitude Median Altitudes Medians Altitudes Medians Altitudes Medians The meeting point is the: Orthocenter Centroid The meeting point is the: Centroid Orthocenter |
