Answer 2

ANSWER

The name of the segment inside the triangle is

`altitude.`

Step-by-step explanation

The segment inside the large triangle is a line from one vertex of the large triangle that meets the the opposite side of the large triangle at right angle.


Any line from one vertex of a triangle that meets the side opposite to that vertex at right angle is referred to as the
`<b>altitude</b>` of the triangle.

Sometimes the altitude may fall outside the triangle.


Therefore the correct answer is option 2.
