Question

question 10 of 45 which of the following is the correct name for bd below? a. angle bisector b. midsegment c. midpoint d. perpendicular bisector

Explanation:

A mid - segment of a triangle is a line segment that connects the mid - points of two sides of a triangle. In the given triangle $\triangle ACE$, points $B$ and $D$ are mid - points of sides $AC$ and $CE$ respectively, so $\overline{BD}$ is a mid - segment. An angle bisector divides an angle into two equal parts, a mid - point is a single point that divides a line segment into two equal parts, and a perpendicular bisector is a line that is perpendicular to a line segment and bisects it. None of these other definitions apply here.

Answer:

B. Midsegment
