HELP ME, PLEASE!

Identify line segment AB as an altitude, median, perpendicular bisector or angle bisector.

I would say perpendicular bisector but there is no 90 degree mark.
I know it isn't an angle bisector of altitude.

It is clear that (AB) is a median, and it is obvious that the angle is 90, thus it is an altitude and a perpendicular bisector

Answer:

Median.

Explanation:

We have been given a triangle. We are asked to find the exact name of line segment AB.

We can see that line segment AB divides opposite side of vertex A into equal parts.

We know that median of triangle is a line segment from any vertex of triangle that divides opposite side into two equal parts, therefore, line segment AB is median for the given triangle.
