Question

A segment drawn from a vertex and is perpendicular to the opposite side of a triangle is a/an

(median....perpendicular bisector....altitude).

Answer 1

altitude

Explanation:

We can also call it the height. "Vertex" is one of the three corners of a triangle. (the plural of vertex is vertices. A triangle has three vertices)

Perpendicular means that the segment makes a right angle with the side it is drawn to.

It's not median or perpendicular bisector, bc bisector means the side is cut in half, that happens sometimes but not always.
