Question
look at the diagram. which term describes \\( \overline { f h } \\)? angle bisector altitude perpendicular bisector none of these
Step1: Recall the definition of an angle bisector
An angle bisector is a ray that divides an angle into two equal parts.
Step2: Check the given angles
Here, \(\angle GFE\) is divided into \(\angle GFH = 42^{\circ}\) and \(\angle HFE=45^{\circ}\). Since \(42^{\circ}
eq45^{\circ}\), \(FH\) is not an angle bisector.
Step3: Recall the definition of an altitude
An altitude is a perpendicular segment from a vertex to the line containing the opposite side. There is no indication that \(FH\perp GE\) (no right - angle symbol).
Step4: Recall the definition of a perpendicular bisector
A perpendicular bisector is a line that is perpendicular to a segment and bisects it. There is no information about \(FH\) being perpendicular to \(GE\) or bisecting \(GE\).
