Question

Which definition best describes a median?Required to answer. Single choice. A line segment from a vertex of the triangles to the opposite side that divides an angle into two congruent adjacent angles. A line segment from a vertex of the triangles to the midpoint of the opposite side.A line segment from any vertex perpendicular to the line containing the opposite side of a triangle.A line that is perpendicular to a side of the triangle and also bisects that side of the triangle (it goes through the midpoint).

Answer 1

The median is line drawn from a vertex of triangle and falls upon the opposite side of vertex. The point where median intersects the opposite side divide the side in two equal parts.

In triangle AOC median from vertex O is drawn which divide the opposite side is two equal parts as AC = BC.

Thus correct option is,

A line segment from a vertex of the triangles to the midpoint of the opposite side​.
