ABC is a triangle.
Which of the lines is the height and which is the median?
To solve this problem, we need to correctly identify the height and median in the triangle .
Therefore, the solution to the problem is height, median.
BC + AB = height,
EB = median
Is DE side in one of the triangles?
Look for a right angle marker (small square) where the line meets the opposite side. The height is always perpendicular to the base, forming a 90° angle.
A median connects a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. Look for equal marks on both segments created by the median - they should be the same length.
Yes! In isosceles triangles, the line from the vertex angle to the base can be both the height and median. But in most triangles, they're different lines.
Point E marks the midpoint of side BC. Since connects vertex B to this midpoint, it's the median from vertex B to side AC.
This notation means the perpendicular line from vertex A to the base BC forms the height. The answer combines the base BC with the perpendicular segment AB to identify the complete height relationship.
