median to the base of a triangle


Explanation:
Isosceles Triangles: the Median to the Base is Perpendicular to the Base. In a triangle, a line that connects one corner (or vertice) to the middle point of the opposite side is called a median.

O ponto médio da base de um triângulo(?)


Explanation:
Um pouco mais de contexto serviria de ajuda para identificar a tradução correta. O ponto médio de qualquer lado de um triângulo serve para traçar tanto uma mediana como uma mediatriz e no caso de triângulo equilátero também a altura e bissetriz. Deve tratar-se do alguma coisa relativa a esse ponto.

Por ser español a inglés io acrescenté la nota que se puede leer arriba. Como no son presentadas otras informaciones, solamente "base media de un triangulo" no se puede especificar que sea un triangulo isósceles, escaleno, equilátero o rectangulo. Esta traduccion "mean base of a triangle" io obtuve en el traductor Deepl (Linguee).
