Question

unit 1 lesson 9 cumulative practice problems 1. select all drawings in which a corresponding height h for a given base b is correctly identified. a b h b b h c h b d b h e b h f b h a. a b. b c. c d. d e. e f. f

Explanation:

Step1: Recall height - base relationship

The height of a triangle with respect to a given base is the perpendicular distance from the opposite vertex to the line containing the base.

Step2: Analyze Option A

The line labeled \(h\) is not perpendicular to the base \(b\), so it is incorrect.

Step3: Analyze Option B

The line labeled \(h\) is perpendicular to the base \(b\) and goes from the opposite vertex, so it is correct.

Step4: Analyze Option C

The line labeled \(h\) is perpendicular to the base \(b\) and goes from the opposite vertex, so it is correct.

Step5: Analyze Option D

The line labeled \(h\) is not perpendicular to the base \(b\), so it is incorrect.

Step6: Analyze Option E

The line labeled \(h\) is perpendicular to the line containing the base \(b\) and goes from the opposite vertex, so it is correct.

Step7: Analyze Option F

The line labeled \(h\) is not perpendicular to the base \(b\), so it is incorrect.

Answer:

B. B
C. C
E. E
