Question

name an altitude.
segment qt
line rp
segment rw
ray ru

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the definition of an altitude

An altitude of a triangle is a perpendicular segment from a vertex to the line containing the opposite side.

Step2: Analyze each option

• Segment QT: There is no indication that \(QT\) is perpendicular to any side of the triangle.
• Line RP: A line is infinite. An altitude is a segment (finite).
• Segment RW: \(\angle W = 90^{\circ}\), and \(RW\) is a segment from vertex \(R\) perpendicular to side \(PW\) (in the context of the triangle - assume the triangle structure where this makes sense as an altitude).
• Ray RU: A ray is infinite in one direction. An altitude is a segment.

Answer:

Segment RW
