Q:

In βˆ† GHK point M is the midpoint of GH. Which term describes KM?A. Altitude B. MedianC. Angle BisectorD. Perpendicular Bisector

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:The correct option is B.Step-by-step explanation:Given information: In βˆ† GHK point M is the midpoint of GH.If a line perpendicular from a vertex to the opposite side of the triangle, then it is called altitude of a triangle.If a line segment joint a vertex of the triangle to the midpoint of the opposite side, then it is called median.If a line segment bisect one of the vertex angles of a triangle, then it is called angled bisector.If a line from a vertex perpendicular to the opposite side and passing through its midpoint, then it is called perpendicular bisector.Since side GH is opposite to the vertex K and M is the midpoint of GH, therefore the line segment KM is median of the βˆ†GHK.Therefore the correct option is B.
