Question

look at the diagram.
which term describes \\(\overline{eg}\\)?
angle bisector
altitude
median
perpendicular bisector

Explanation:

An altitude of a triangle is a segment from a vertex perpendicular to the opposite side (or its extension). Here, $\overline{EG}$ connects vertex $E$ to side $\overline{FD}$ (at point $G$) at a right angle, matching the definition of an altitude. An angle bisector splits an angle, a median connects to a midpoint, and a perpendicular bisector must bisect the side, which is not confirmed here.

Answer:

altitude
