Honors Geometry Chapter 5: Relationships in Triangles 5.1 Bisectors, Objective: -Identify and use perpendicular bisectors and angle bisectors in a triangle Medians and -Identify and use altitudes and medians in a triangle Altitudes Perpendicular bisector A of a side of a triangle is a line, segment, or ray that is perpendicular bisector perpendicular to the side and passes through its midpoint. (Draw a diagram) Angle bisector A segment, ray, or line which divides an angle into two congruent angles. (Draw a diagram) Median A is a line segment that connects the vertex of a triangle to the median midpoint of the opposite side. (Draw a diagram) Altitude An altitude of a triangle is a segment from a vertex to the line containing the opposite side and is perpendicular to that side. (Draw a diagram)
