Question
The altitude of an isosceles triangle is the same segment in the triangle as the __________.A.bisectorB.hypotenuseC.legD.median
Solution
The correct answer is D. median.
In an isosceles triangle, the altitude from the vertex angle (the angle that is not like the others) to the base (the side that is not like the others) is the same segment as the median. This is because in an isosceles triangle, the altitude, the median, and the angle bisector from the vertex angle all coincide, meaning they are the same line segment.

An altitude is drawn from the vertex of an isosceles triangle, forming a right angle and two congruent triangles. As a result, the altitude cuts the base into two equal segments. The length of the altitude is 36 inches, and the length of the base is 12 inches. Find the triangle’s perimeter. Round to the nearest tenth of an inch.
