Question

page, faith 25 - 26 unit 5 mid unit assessment what type of special segment is being shown in the diagram below? altitude perpendicular bisector median angle bisector

Explanation:

Step1: Recall definitions

An altitude is a perpendicular segment from a vertex to the line containing the opposite side. A perpendicular bisector is a line that is perpendicular to a segment and bisects it. A median is a segment from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. An angle bisector is a ray that divides an angle into two congruent angles.

Step2: Analyze the diagram

In the diagram, the segment \(NI\) divides the angle at \(I\) into two congruent angles (since the markings show the two angles at \(I\) are equal). So, \(NI\) is an angle bisector.

Answer:

Angle Bisector
