Question

Can an altitude and median be same for a traingle?​

Answer 1

The altitude and median is not the same thing in a triangle.

An altitude is a perpendicular bisector on any side of a triangle and it measures the distance between the vertex and the line which is opposite side whereas, a median is a line segment that connects a vertex to the central point of the opposite side. Hence, a median needs not to be perpendicular every time. However, in the case of an equilateral triangle, the median and altitude are always the same.
