Question

using the diagram, identify the dashed line segment. perpendicular bisector altitude median angle bisector

Explanation:

To identify the dashed line segment, we analyze each option:

• Perpendicular bisector: Requires bisecting a side at 90° (not shown here, as the arcs suggest angle - related construction).
• Altitude: A perpendicular segment from a vertex to the opposite side (no right - angle indication here).
• Median: Connects a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. The construction (arcs to find midpoint and connecting to vertex) matches how a median is drawn.
• Angle bisector: Bisects an angle (arcs here are for finding midpoint of a side, not angle - bisecting arcs).

Answer:

C. median
