Median• Segment whose endpoints are
a vertex of a triangle and the midpoint of the opposite side.
• All three medians in a triangle intersect at the centroid of the triangle.

![Page 6: 5.3 Medians and Altitudes in a Triangle. Median Segment whose endpoints are a vertex of a triangle and the midpoint of the opposite side. All three medians](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649e405503460f94b32253/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Altitude • Perpendicular segment from a
vertex to the line containing the opposite side
• All three altitudes in a triangle intersect at the orthocenter of the triangle.

Altitude (cont.) • Find the orthocenter

Finding the eqn of the line containing a median
• Connects vertex to opposite midpoint• First find midpoint of opp side• Find slope between vertex point and midpoint• Write eqn with point-slope form

Ex: Find eqn of the line containing a median from A to BC
• A (4, 6) B (-2, 8) C (0, 10)

Find the eqn of the line containing an altitude
• Vertex to perp slope of opposite side• First find slope of opp side• Find the perp slope (opp reciprocal)• Write eqn with point-slope form using vertex
and the perp slope
