Question

Name the following segment or point.

Given L,M,N are midpoints

Median to BC

1. Segment AM
2. Segment BL
3. Segment AS

Answer 1

1. Segment AM.

Explanation:

We have been given a triangle ABC. Points L, M and N re midpoints of the triangle. We are asked to find the median of segment BC.

We know that median of a triangle is line segment connecting the midpoint of a segment to the opposite vertex.

We can see that angle A is the opposite angle to side BC and M is the midpoint of side BC, therefore, segment AM is the median to side BC and 1st option is the correct choice.

Answer 2

segment AM

Explanation:

A median is a line segment which joins the vertex of a triangle to the midpoint of the opposite side. The median to BC is the vertex opposite it A joined to its midpoint M. The segment AM is the median.
