Question

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

Explanation:

Step1: Recall triangle height definition

The height of a triangle corresponding to a base is a perpendicular segment from the opposite vertex to the base (or its extension).

Step2: Analyze each segment

• Segment \( A \): Not perpendicular to the base.
• Segment \( B \): Has a right angle symbol, so it's perpendicular to the base (or its extension) from the opposite vertex.
• Segment \( C \): Not perpendicular to the base.

Answer:

B
