5.1.2 Medians, Altitudes, and Midsegments in Triangles − Practice

1.  If HJ is a median of △ IKH , which of the following statements is always true?

2. CD is a median of △ ABC , AD = 3 x + 10, and DB = 7 x + 2. Find AB .

○ HJ ≅ IK ○ ∠ IHJ ≅ ∠ KHJ ○ IJ ≅ JK ○ ∠ IJH ≅ ∠ KJH

3.  △ KWJ has vertices K (3, 3), W (1, − 5), and J ( − 5, − 1). Find the equation of the median through J in slope-intercept form.

4.  △ DEF has vertices D ( − 5, − 1), E (3, 3), and F (1, − 5). Find the equation of the altitude through F in slope- intercept form.

5.  Find the measure of PR in the diagram.

6.  Find the value of m in the diagram.
