Which side of triangle ABC is both the median and the height drawn to?
To solve this problem, we need to use the properties of medians and heights, specifically in isosceles triangles. In an isosceles triangle, the median from the vertex angle to the base is also the height. In the diagram of triangle ABC, given the problem context and a typical configuration of an isosceles triangle, we can see that:
Therefore, in triangle ABC, side AB is both the median and the height of the triangle, assuming a vertical symmetry along median AD, characteristic of an isosceles triangle configuration.
Therefore, the correct answer is .
AB
Fill in the blanks:
In an isosceles triangle, the angle between two ___ is called the "___ angle".
