1. 4.4 Altitudes, Medians, and Perpendicular Bisectors
Date:________________

2. ALTITUDES
- A perpendicular segment from a vertex to the line containing the opposite side…(right angle)
There are three in a Triangle
*Notice how all three altitudes cross

3. Median
- a segment from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side…(not right angle most of the time)
There are three in a Triangle
*Notice how all three medians cross

4. Perpendicular Bisectors
- a segment that is Perpendicular to another segment and goes through its midpoint…(in a triangle it would be both a median and an altitude)
There are three in a equilateral Triangle.
*Notice how all three medians cross
