Question

problem 8: (first taught in lesson 41) select the triangle that shows the altitude of △jkl from vertex j. after you pick your answer press go. a b c d e

Explanation:

Step1: Recall altitude definition

The altitude of a triangle from a vertex is a perpendicular line segment from that vertex to the opposite side (or its extension).

Step2: Identify in options

Look for the triangle among A - E where a line segment from J is perpendicular to the side opposite J.

Answer:

The triangle with the dashed - line segment from vertex J perpendicular to the opposite side (extended if necessary) is the one that shows the altitude from vertex J. Without seeing all the options A - E, we can't specifically name the correct option. But conceptually, the altitude from vertex J of \(\triangle{JKL}\) is a line segment drawn from J that is perpendicular to the line containing the side opposite J (either \(\overline{KL}\) or its extension).
