$\angle psq \cong \angle qsr$.

which term describes $\overline{sq}$?

altitude perpendicular bisector

median angle bisector

Explanation:

Given that $\angle PSQ \cong \angle QSR$, this means that $\overline{SQ}$ divides $\angle PSR$ into two congruent angles. By the definition of an angle bisector (a line that splits an angle into two equal - measure angles), $\overline{SQ}$ is an angle bisector. An altitude is a perpendicular segment from a vertex to the opposite side, a perpendicular bisector is a line that is perpendicular to a segment and bisects it, and a median is a segment from a vertex to the mid - point of the opposite side. None of these other definitions match the given condition as well as the angle bisector definition.

Answer:

angle bisector
