5.4 – Use Medians and Altitudes

5.4 – Use Medians and Altitudes. Line from the vertex of a triangle to the midpoint of the opposite side. In your group, each person draw a different sized triangle. One should be scalene obtuse, one scalene acute, scalene right, and one isosceles. Then construct the medians of the triangle.

  1. 5.4 – Use Medians and Altitudes

  2. Line from the vertex of a triangle to the midpoint of the opposite side

  3. In your group, each person draw a different sized triangle. One should be scalene obtuse, one scalene acute, scalene right, and one isosceles. Then construct the medians of the triangle.

  4. C A B **always inside the triangle

  5. centroid 2/3 the distance from each vertex and 1/3 distance from the midpoint

  6. Line from the vertex to midpoint of opposite side

  7. 2/3 the distance from each vertex and 1/3 distance from the midpoint Centroid

  8. Line from the vertex of a triangle perpendicular to the opposite side

  9. In your group, each person draw a different sized triangle. One should be scalene obtuse, one scalene acute, scalene right, and one isosceles. Then construct the altitudes of the triangle.

  11. orthocenter none

  12. Line from vertex  to the opposite side

  13. orthocenter If acute – inside of triangle If obtuse – outside of triangle If right – at vertex of right angle
