b. a median

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The altitude is KJ.
  2. The median is KZ.

Step by step solution

01

Part a. Step 1. Observe the given diagram.

The given diagram is:

02

Part a. Step 2. Definition of altitude.

The altitude is a line segment drawn perpendicular from the vertex to the opposite side to that vertex.

03

Part a. Step 3. Description of step.

From the given diagram it can be noticed that ∠KJL=90°.

Therefore,KJis the altitude drawn from the vertex K.

Therefore, name of the altitude is KJ.

04

Part b. Step 1. Observe the given diagram.

The given diagram is:

05

Part b. Step 2. Definition of median.

The median is a line segment drawn from vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side to that vertex.

06

Part b. Step 3. Description of step.

From the given diagram it can be noticed that JZ=LZ.

Therefore,Zis the midpoint of JL.

Therefore,KZis the median drawn from the vertex K.

Therefore, name of the median is KZ.
