Question 1

median defintion

Answer 1

segment connecting vertex and midpoint of opposite side

Question 2

centroid

Answer 2

point of intersection between 3 medians, always inside the triangle. remember how its 2/3 distance from each vertex to midpoint of opposite side

Question 3

altitude defintion

Answer 3

segment from vertex to opposite side. it is always perp. to the opp. side

Question 4

orthocenter

Answer 4

point of intersection between all altitudes
