Do median and altitude the same in the equilateral triangle?
Median and altitude of an equilateral triangle :
Median :
The distance between the midpoint of any side to the opposite vertex.
Altitude :
The perpendicular height of any side of the triangle.
In an equilateral triangle, the median makes 90°.
Therefore, in the equilateral triangle medians and altitudes are the same.
