A median of a triangle splits it into two smaller triangles. Since the two parts have equal bases (the two halves of one side) and the same height (distance from the opposite vertex), what can you say about their areas?

Class 7Medians and AltitudesTriangles
  • AThe two triangles have equal areas
  • BThe larger half-side gives the larger area
  • CTheir areas are in ratio 2 : 1
  • DIt cannot be decided

Step-by-Step Solution

A median creates two triangles with equal bases (each half the side) and the same height, so their areas are equal.
