Question
- name an altitude for △abc.
○ $overline{ce}$
○ $overline{ab}$
○ $overline{af}$
○
Step1: Recall altitude definition
An altitude of a triangle is a line - segment from a vertex perpendicular to the opposite side.
Step2: Analyze given segments
In \(\triangle ABC\), \(\overline{AF}\) is a line - segment from vertex \(A\) and is perpendicular to the opposite side \(\overline{CB}\) (as indicated by the right - angle symbol). \(\overline{CE}\) is not perpendicular to the opposite side from \(C\) to \(AB\) in the way required for an altitude. \(\overline{AB}\) is a side of the triangle, not an altitude.
