A triangle has three sides and three angles. We can draw special segments inside a triangle that connect vertices to sides or divide angles.
1. A segment that connects a vertex of a triangle to the midpoint of the opposite side is called a:
Altitude
Median
Angle Bisector
Perpendicular Bisector
2. Which segment forms a right angle with the opposite side of a triangle?
Median
Angle Bisector
Altitude
Midsegment
3. An is a segment that divides an angle of a triangle into two congruent angles.
4. The point where the three medians of a triangle intersect is called the .
5. Draw an equilateral triangle and sketch all three medians. What do you notice about their intersection point?
6. In any triangle, an altitude always lies inside the triangle.
True
False
Match the definition to the correct triangle segment.
7. Connects a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side.
a. Altitude
8. Perpendicular segment from a vertex to the opposite side.
b. Median
