From the given traingles, let's select the correct statements.

(a) Select all that describe BD.

Here, the line BD divides angle B into 2 equal parts. It means BD bisects ∠D.

An angle bisector is a line that divides an angle into two equal angles.

Hence, we can say BD is an angle bisector of ∠B.

(b) Select all that describe HI.

Since m∠FIH is a right triangle, it means ∠HIG is also a right triangle.

Also, the line HI originates from the vertex.

Since. the it forms a right angle, we can say HJ is an altitude of the triangle FGH.

Hence, HJ is an altitude of ΔFGH.

(c) Select all that describe MN.

Here, we can see that line MN divides the line segment KL into two equal parts, it means that point M is the median of the line segment KM and the pperpendicular bisector of line segment KL.

A perpendicular bisector is a line segment that divides another line segement into two equal parts.

KM = LM

Hence, MN is the perpendicular bisector of KL.

ANSWER:

• (a) Angle bisector of ∠B.

,

• (b) Altitude of ΔFGH.

,

• (c) Perpendicular bisector of KL.
