angle bisectors (81)
lesson: angle bisectors

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Angle Bisector Definition

An angle bisector divides an angle into two equal angles.

Step2: Analyze ∠RQT

In the diagram, ∠RQT is split by \( \overline{QS} \) into two \( 45^\circ \) angles.

Step3: Compare with Other Terms

• Altitude: A perpendicular segment from a vertex to the opposite side (not indicated here as we don't know if it's perpendicular).
• Perpendicular bisector: Bisects a side at a right angle (not shown here).
• Angle bisector: Matches as \( \overline{QS} \) splits \( \angle RQT \) into two equal angles.

Answer:

angle bisector
