Question

which line segment shows the base that corresponds to the given height of the triangle? choose 1 answer: a a b b c c

Explanation:

Step1: Recall triangle base-height relation

In a triangle, the height is perpendicular to its corresponding base.

Step2: Analyze the diagram

The given height is a dashed line with a right - angle symbol, meaning it's perpendicular to the base. The line segment \(A\) is the one to which the height is perpendicular (as seen from the right - angle mark between the height and \(A\)). Segments \(B\) and \(C\) are sides of the triangle but not perpendicular to the given height.

Answer:

A. \(A\)
