What is the difference between median and altitude of a triangle?
Median:
A median of a triangle is a line segment that joins the vertex of a triangle to the midpoint of the opposite side.A triangle has three medians
Altitude:
The altitude of a triangle is a line from a vertex to the opposite side, that is perpendicular to that side. A triangle has 3 altitudes.
