I have a Question. If the median of a triangle passes through the opposite side at a 90° angle, then the triangle is equilateral. Is this

statement true always, sometimes or never?

Please Explain and justify your answer. YOU MUST ALSO include a diagram for your response.

THANK YOU FOR THOSE WHO HELPED.

Answer:

sometimes true

Explanation:

If the median of a triangle is also an altitude (meets the side at 90°), then the triangle is isosceles. Some isosceles triangles are equilateral; some are not.

The statement that the triangle is equilateral is sometimes true.
