Triangle Segments

Triangle Segments

Name:

Median - A median of a triangle is a line joining a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. Altitude - The altitude of a triangle is the perpendicular line from the base to the opposite vertex. Perpendicular Bisector - A line which cuts a line segment into two equal parts at 90°. The vertices of !TMS are as follows: T (-8,2), M (4,6), S(10,-4). Write the equations for the: ____________________________________ Altitude through point M ___________________________________ Median through point M

____________________________________ Perpendicular bisector of TS

*

Find all three perpendicular bisectors, medians and altitudes.
