Question

look at the diagram. which term describes \\( \overline { g i } \\)? median altitude angle bisector perpendicular bisector

Explanation:

An altitude of a triangle is a perpendicular segment from a vertex to the line containing the opposite side. In the given diagram, \(\overline{GI}\) is a segment from vertex \(G\) that is perpendicular (\(\angle GIH = 90^{\circ}\)) to the side \(HJ\). A median connects a vertex to the mid - point of the opposite side (no information about mid - point here). An angle bisector divides an angle into two equal parts (no angle - division indication). A perpendicular bisector would bisect a side at a right angle (no information about side - bisection).

Answer:

altitude
