The figure is an example of a(n) ... (a)  

• midsegment

• perpendicular bisector

• altitude

• midsegment

The figure is an example of a(n) ... (a)  

• angle bisector

• midsegment

• altitude

• median

Goes from one vertex perpendicular to the opposite side.

Goes from vertex to midpoint of opposite sides

Goes through the midpoint at 90 degrees. It does not necessarily go through a vertex of the triangle (a)
