[size=200][color=#0000ff][u][b]Median[/b][/u][/color][/size]

What is a median of a triangle?

a line segment or ray drawn from a vertex that cuts the angle in half a line segment drawn from a vertex perpendicular to the opposite side a line segment drawn from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side a line drawn perpendicular to a side of the triangle through its midpoint
