Question

question 38 of 45 which of the following correctly names a side of the triangle below? a. $overline{ab}$ b. $angle c$ c. $\triangle abc$ d. $b$

Explanation:

Step1: Recall side - naming convention

In a triangle, a side is named using the two endpoints.

Step2: Analyze each option

• Option A: $\overline{AB}$ represents the line - segment between points $A$ and $B$, which is a side of the triangle $\triangle ABC$.
• Option B: $\angle C$ represents an angle, not a side.
• Option C: $\triangle ABC$ represents the whole triangle, not a single side.
• Option D: $B$ represents a vertex, not a side.

Answer:

A. $\overline{AB}$
