What is a Median in geometry?

Back

A median is a line segment that connects a vertex of a triangle to the midpoint of the opposite side.

Front

What is a Midsegment in a triangle?

Back

A midsegment is a segment that connects the midpoints of two sides of a triangle and is parallel to the third side.

Front

What is an Altitude in geometry?

Back

An altitude is a perpendicular segment from a vertex to the line containing the opposite side.

Front

What is a Perpendicular Bisector?

Back

A perpendicular bisector is a line that divides a segment into two equal parts at a 90-degree angle.

Front

If segment DE is a midsegment, what can be said about its length compared to the third side?

Back

The length of segment DE is half the length of the third side of the triangle.

Front

How do you find the length of a segment given two endpoints?

Back

Use the distance formula: length = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²).

Front

Solve for x: 2x + 4 = 24.

Back

x = 10.

Front

What is the relationship between the angles formed by a perpendicular bisector and the segments it bisects?

Back

The angles formed are right angles (90 degrees).

Front

What is the definition of an Angle Bisector?

Back

An angle bisector is a ray that divides an angle into two equal angles.

Front

If a triangle has sides of lengths 6, 8, and 10, what type of triangle is it?

Back

It is a right triangle, as it satisfies the Pythagorean theorem.
