Question

∠qrt is a right angle.
which term describes \\(\overline{tr}\\)?
perpendicular bisector
altitude
angle bisector
median

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

An altitude of a triangle is a segment from a vertex perpendicular to the opposite side (or its extension). Here, $\angle QRT$ is a right angle, so $\overline{TR}$ is perpendicular to $\overline{QS}$, and $T$ is a vertex of $\triangle QTS$ with $\overline{QS}$ as the opposite side. A perpendicular bisector requires bisecting the side, which is not indicated. An angle bisector splits an angle, which is not the case here. A median connects a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side, which is not shown.

Answer:

altitude
