In ∆ GHK point M is the midpoint of GH. Which term describes KM?

A. Altitude

B. Median

C. Angle Bisector

D. Perpendicular Bisector

Answer:

The correct option is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information: In ∆ 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 ∆GHK.

Therefore the correct option is B.
