Question 121155 • OC - LCISD - Geometry B

Which of the following is a result of the construction of a median of a triangle?

Answer
A
An angle of the triangle is bisected.
B
A perpendicular segment is created from a vertex to the opposite side.
C
A side of the triangle is bisected.
D
The center of the triangle is found.

Explanation

A median is a segment drawn from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. Since it meets that side at its midpoint, it bisects the side. Thus, choice C, “A side of the triangle is bisected,” is correct. A median does not necessarily bisect an angle or meet the opposite side perpendicularly.
