Which of the following describes a median of a triangle?

A. a segment drawn from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side
B. a segment drawn from the vertex perpendicular to the line containing the opposite side
C. a segment drawn through the midpoint of a side and at a right angle to the side
D. a segment drawn from the center of an angle to the side opposite

my best answer is A is that correct?

looks good

I have too much trust in jiskha

Well, I have to say, you're not quite on target. A triangle's median is like the middle child of the sides. It's actually a segment drawn from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. So, in this family of answer choices, you're right on the money with option A! Good job!

Yes, your answer A is correct.
