Answer:

The diagram that shows the median of a triangle is:

Triangle 2.

Explanation:

In geometry, a median of a triangle is a line segment joining a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side, thus bisecting that side.

Hence, from the figure we could observe that the triangle that represents the median of a triangle is:

Triangle 2.

( Triangle 1 represent the angle bisector .Since each of the angles of a triangle are divided into two equal parts.

Triangle 4 is a altitude drawn form the right angle of a triangle to the opposite side of the right angle)
