Answer 2

please help

Answer 3

@BrAnDoN_AAS would you maybe know how to answer this??

Answer 4

or maybe @bloofoffiction maybe you could help me??

Answer 5

I don't know any geometry. I'm sorry

Answer 6

oh okay thats fine :)

Answer 7

@Jhannybean @campbell_st @Nnesha can you help?

Answer 8

I would say a median... divides the side into 2 equal parts and goes the the vertex

Answer 9

I have no idea sorry all I know about that picture is that it is two connected triangles with a line going into each one. Sorry

Answer 10

okay thank you can you guys maybe help me some more i still have more questions :)

Answer 11

perhaps this site will help with your geometry understanding

Answer 12

a) perpendicular bisector : this would create 2 right triangles within the larger triangle, and would "split" the line segment into 2 equal portions.

b) altitude : not sure

c) median : possibly your best choice because you have 2 congruent line segments in your triangle, and it's not necessarily creating a 90 degree angle

d) angle bisector: if you were given an angle in your triangle, this would "splice" that angle in half, but all you're given is 2 congruent sides.
