Question

look at the diagram.
which term describes (overline{rt})?
angle bisector perpendicular bisector
median none of these

Explanation:

• An angle bisector divides an angle into two equal - measure angles. There is no information given about angles being bisected.
• A perpendicular bisector is a line that is perpendicular to a segment and bisects it. There is no indication of perpendicularity.
• A median of a triangle is a line segment that joins a vertex of a triangle to the mid - point of the opposite side. Here, we do not know if \(T\) is the mid - point of \(SQ\) (since \(ST = 43\) and \(TQ=53\), \(ST

eq TQ\)).

Answer:

none of these
