ABC is a triangle.
To which of its sides are the height and the median drawn?
To determine which side has both the height and median, let's examine the geometric definitions and their implications in a triangle:
Both a median and height coincide on the same side only under specific symmetrical conditions, such as when the triangle is isosceles (with that side as the base) or when the altitude divides it symmetrically.
In the given problem, since the components align such that both structures exist on the 'base' of symmetry (where the perpendicular bisects and equalizes), hence an educated assumption goes to the side 'AB'.
Thus, the side upon which both the height and the median are drawn is .
AB
Is the straight line in the figure the height of the triangle?
