Question

look at the diagram.
which term describes (overline{fh})?
altitude perpendicular bisector
angle bisector none of these

Explanation:

Step1: Recall definitions

• Altitude: A perpendicular segment from a vertex to the line containing the opposite side.
• Perpendicular bisector: A line that is perpendicular to a segment and bisects it (divides it into two equal parts).
• Angle bisector: A ray that divides an angle into two congruent angles.

Step2: Analyze the diagram

In the given diagram, there is no indication that \(FH\) is perpendicular to \(EG\) (so not an altitude), there is no information that \(FH\) bisects \(EG\) (so not a perpendicular bisector), and there is no indication that \(FH\) bisects \(\angle EFG\) (so not an angle bisector).

Answer:

none of these
