Question
name a median.
ray ru
segment rw
segment qt
line sv
Step1: Recall the definition of a median in a triangle
A median of a triangle is a segment that connects a vertex of the triangle to the mid - point of the opposite side.
Step2: Analyze each option
- Ray RU: A ray has one endpoint and extends infinitely. A median is a segment (has two endpoints), so Ray RU is not a median.
- Segment RW: Segment RW is not connecting a vertex to the mid - point of the opposite side.
- Segment QT: Segment QT connects vertex \(Q\) (assuming \(Q\) is a vertex - like point in the triangle structure shown, and it connects to the mid - point of the opposite side.
- Line SV: A line extends infinitely in both directions. A median is a segment, so Line SV is not a median.
