Question

What is the difference between median,altitude,angle bisector and perpendicular bisector? Define.

Answer 1

Please find the following definitions:

Median:-A line segment joining a vertex of a triangle with the mid-point of the opposite side.

Altitude:-A line segment joining a vertex of a triangle with the opposite side such that the segment is perpendicular to the opposite side.

Angle Bisector: – A line segment joining a vertex of a triangle with the opposite side such that the angle at the vertex is split into two equal parts.

Perpendicular Bisector:-A line which passes through the mid-point of a segment and is perpendicular on the segment is called the perpendicular bisector of the segment.
