Difference between altitude and median |
|
Answer» Median\tA line segment passing through a vertex to the midpoint of an opposite side is called a median.\tThe point where the 3 medians meet is called the centroid of the triangle.\tEach median of a triangle divides the triangle into two smaller triangles which have equal area.Altitude\tAn altitude passing through a vertex and is at right-angle at the opposite side.\tThe point where the 3 altitudes meet is called the ortho-center of the triangle.\tThe altitude of a triangle may lie inside or outside the triangle. Median divides the triangle into two equal parts whereas altitude makes 90 degrees Altitude is always perpendicular or inclined at right angle but median is a line which divide aline in ratio 1:1 |
