Question

In the given triangle PQR, D is the mid point of side QR then what is PM and PD?

• A. Median and altitude
• B. Altitude and median
• C. Angle bisector and median
• D. Angle bisector and altitude

Answer 1

The correct option is B Altitude and median

We know that,
Median is the line segment drawn from the vertex of the triangle to the opposite side, which divides the side into two segments or parts of equal length. Hence PD is the median.

Altitude is the perpendicular line segment drawn from the vertex of the triangle to the opposite side. Hence PM is the altitude.
