Question

for \\( \triangle abp \\), is \\( \overline{bk} \\) a median, an altitude, or neither?
choose the correct answer below.
neither
altitude
median

Explanation:

A median of a triangle is a line segment joining a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. An altitude is a perpendicular segment from a vertex to the line containing the opposite side. In \(\triangle ABP\), there is no indication that \(\overline{BK}\) is perpendicular to \(AP\) (so it's not an altitude), and there is no indication that \(K\) is the mid - point of \(AP\) (so it's not a median).

Answer:

neither
