Question

1. choose the correct answer.

the ___ of a triangle is the point of intersection of the altitudes of a triangle.
centroid
orthocenter
median
circumcenter

1. choose the correct answer.

a segment that extends from the vertex of a triangle to the opposite side and is perpendicular to the side is called the ___ of the triangle.
centroid
altitude
orthocenter
median

Explanation:

• For question 3:
• The centroid is the intersection of the medians.
• The orthocenter is defined as the intersection of the altitudes.
• A median connects a vertex to the mid - point of the opposite side.
• The circumcenter is the intersection of the perpendicular bisectors.
• For question 4:
• The centroid is a point (the intersection of medians).
• An altitude is a segment from a vertex perpendicular to the opposite side.
• The orthocenter is a point (the intersection of altitudes).
• A median connects a vertex to the mid - point of the opposite side.

Answer:

1. orthocenter
2. altitude
