Types of Lines

Question 1

(Question 3),

Is segment AB a perpendicular bisector, angle bisector, median, altitude, or none of these?

Answer 1

Perpendicular bisector.

Question 2

(Question 4),

Is segment AB a perpendicular bisector, angle bisector, median, altitude, or none of these?

Answer 2

None of these.

Question 3

(Question 5),

Is segment AB a perpendicular bisector, angle bisector, median, altitude, or none of these?

Answer 3

Angle bisector.

Question 4

(Question 6),

Is segment AB a perpendicular bisector, angle bisector, median, altitude, or none of these?

Answer 4

Altitude.

Question 5

(Question 7),

Is segment AB a perpendicular bisector, angle bisector, median, altitude, or none of these?

Answer 5

None of these.

Question 6

(Question 8),

Is segment AB a perpendicular bisector, angle bisector, median, altitude, or none of these?

Answer 6

Median.

Question 7

How do you describe an angular bisector?

Answer 7

A line going from the beginning of an angle straight down the middle of it. Point of concurrency is called the incenter.

Question 8

How do you describe a perpendicular bisector?

Answer 8

A line that bisects a line segment in two equal parts and makes an angle of 90 degrees at the point of intersection. Point of concurrency is called the circumcenter.

Question 9

How do you describe the median of a triangle?

Answer 9

Goes from the vertex of an angle to the midpoint of the other side. Point of concurrency is called the centroid.

Question 10

How do you describe the altitude of a triangle?

Answer 10

The “height” of the triangle. Goes from the peak point of the triangle (solo point on top) and goes straight down into the base (perpendicular to the base). Point of concurrency is called the orthocenter.
