Question Explain the difference between a median and an altitude in a triangle ABCABC.

Studdy Solution
Illustrate the difference with respect to triangle ABCABC.
In triangle ABCABC, the median from vertex AA to side BCBC would ensure that BM=MCBM = MC, where MM is the midpoint of BCBC. On the other hand, the altitude from vertex AA to side BCBC would ensure that AHBCAH \perp BC, where HH is the point on BCBC or its extension such that AHAH is perpendicular to it.
