Question

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

Explanation:

Step1: Recall base-height definition

In a triangle, the base is the side to which the height is perpendicular. The height here is a dashed line with a right angle to segment \( A \).

Step2: Identify perpendicular side

Check which segment the height is perpendicular to. The height has a right angle mark with segment \( A \), so \( A \) is the base corresponding to this height.

Answer:

A (the line segment labeled \( A \))
